No UDRS system for Australia (and NZ) series: BCCI

[Gunner_Mania]

Australia's cricket administrators are attempting to soften Indian opposition to the umpire decision referral system, starting with its use in the Test series between the two countries in October. Cricket Australia is pushing for the use of the system in the October series, with two Tests to be played in Mohali and Bangalore, as a precursor to the home Ashes series in which the UDRS will be used. http://cricket.rediff.com/report/2010/aug/12/cricket-australia-pushing-for-umpire-referrals-in-india-series.htm

Hope they get "a reason" for the snub *FOR ONCE*

High time we started using the UDRS too and got used to it, else we could be caught off guard in some important WC match where the UDRS is going to be used.

We should get used to it quickly, or else we're gonna suck badly as we did last time.

dont think it'll happen.Neo doesnt have HotSpot.without it,the players r likely to refuse

[cowboysfan]

the only hypocrites here are the indian seniors,atleast the aussies have relented and have accepted the use of UDRS in the Ashes,no wonder the rest of the cricketing world hates us right now.

dont think it'll happen.Neo doesnt have HotSpot.without it' date='the players r likely to refuse[/quote'] Correct me if I am wrong, but no broadcaster owns Hot Spot cameras. There are only 4 Hots Spot cameras at the moment across the world. and the broadcasters just rent it.

They dont want to.i dont think they'll pay for the channel.

Under the ICC's current regulations, the mandatory requirements needed for the UDRS system are, the ball-tracking technology, Super Slo-Mo and a 'clear' stump mike, all of which are available to and will be used by the Neo Sports production team that broadcasts India's home matches. A Neo executive confirmed to Cricinfo that if the BCCI were to suddenly alter their hard stance on the UDRS, the system could be put into place at short notice.

the company behind it (Hawk Eye) has entered into a three-year agreement with the BCCI to form part of television coverage of matches played in India. The inventor of Hawkeye, Paul Hawkins told Cricinfo, "We are going to be there (in India) anyway. We are contracted to do all cricket in India with the BCCI, for three years." About the UDRS, Hawkins said, "Our understanding is that India don't want to do it" and that was because, "India don't understand it. They lost faith in it during the India - Sri Lanka trial".

just thinking about the sydney test and where we are right now makes me sick,we would never see this in any other sport.

Hawk-Eye uses triangulation to map the trajectory of the ball as it travels from bowler to batsman. A minimum of four high-speed video cameras record the ball's path and bounce and relay the data frame by frame to a computer system. This data then allows the system to predict the future movement of the ball. While there is a margin of error involved, Hawkins says it is relatively small (2.6 mm) and the margin is built into the modus operandi of a referral. "Our system's margin of error is so small, given the protocol that is used, it is kind of irrelevant. You have the zone of uncertainty built in, which is effectively a model of the umpire's zone of uncertainty." It is this incorporation of traditional umpiring philosophy into the UDRS that allows the system to be used without completely changing the traditions of the game. For example, when a batsman is hit more than 2.5 metres down the wicket, the umpire is not required to abide by Hawk-Eye's prediction.

Talk about hilarious U-Turn ...... 2 yrs ago after SCG'08 Aus were stoutly defending charmness and India using their clout pushed for a referal system ... 2 yrs later India has made a big U-Turn just as Aus and some other countries have .... bloody hypocrites all of them :mad:

There is no point in going for UDRS if there is no hot spot. And for some reason, hot spot cameras cannot be brought to India because there is a fear that it could be damaged. ESPN had tried to rent it for CL last year but failed. And I don't think we should soften our stance for UDRS till all the devices are available.

Dont know about fear of damage. India & Srlanka apaprently have some restrictions about importing military related technologies. and whether we like it or not we are going to have it for the world cup and that too without Hotspot. So we might as well get used to it rather then screw up in a World Cup final.

And each time BBG wants to buy a new one, it has to undergo a security check because the cameras are classified as military equipment.

Its confusing as to who in the BCCI is opposed to the usage of UDRS. Surely it cannot be a bunch of senior players telling them what to do, that would essentially mean the employer taking orders from the employee. At least for the sake of consistency, ICC should make the use of UDRS mandatory in every series, rather than leaving it to the whims and fancies of individual boards. Even if that was the case, it should be such that BOTH the boards of the participating teams must be opposed to its usage, in order for it to be not used. Even if one of them wants to use it (like in this case, CA), then it should be used.

UDRS in India vs Australlia test series. Ind vs Aus...Up coming test series. I heard a news BCCI has approved UDRS in this series. And all the venues in this system has required equipments for UDRS. I think this series should be in India's favor. UDRS will play vital role in this series.
