Correct decisions go up under DRS

Correct umpiring decisions have increased by over 6% in the 13 Tests since the Decision Review System was introduced, claims the ICC. Their report includes England's tour of South Africa. More...

The vortex will argue its an arbitrary number conjured up by Dave Richardson and there is no independent testing of it:P which as it turns out seems to be the case!!!

good one kp,that is exactly what he will say:giggle:

Nice. I hope we get to see it playing a role a lot more in the future.

Indeed kpsrinivasan and cowboysfan, that is what I will say. You know, it never fails to surprise me that you statistic-oriented guys look so deeply into batting/bowling averages, strike rates etc. But you are ready to take any balderdash that is quoted by Richardson off the cuff!! How does that work, pray? What is this 6% improvement? What is the basis for this measurement? What is it being compared against? What is the modus operandi? I take it you guys are not interested in all these questions...

^well do we really need this stats. We all know it goes up. Just look at my thread for tracking UDRS. Because of UDRS, England were able to draw the series 1-1, without it they would have lost series 2-1

Really? The English coach and captain apparently dont think so. :)

It is logical to expect that you will get more decisions right with additional help.

because they did not know how to use it. Collingwood was given out LBW off a inside edge. He reviewed it and decision ws overturned. and rest is history.

Let me restate what I have mentioned in multiple other threads. Hawkeye, Snicko, Hot Spot - these are all aspects of the UDRS. I am pro-UDRS. But anti-Hawkeye. Hope that helps. And we should all be glad that Hawkeye does not have a component which 'predicts' edges too :).

if they r so happy with it,why dont they enforce it in ODIs too n make it mandatory for all teams to accept(ofcourse with uniform technology,ICC should pay for Hot-Spot)
