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

[Gunner_Mania]

Apart from that it's full steam ahead for my theatre tour, which starts in Leamington on October 26. Click here to see the dates. Hopefully see you there!

That is the bit that is interesting to me. Bumble coming to a town near me.

So seems like Sachin is the only one who has a problem with the UDRS despite falling on the wrong side of the umpires regularly.

I dont think BCCI will refuse only because one player has a problem, even if that players is Sachin

I dont think BCCI will refuse only because one player has a problem' date=' even if that players is Sachin[/quote'] He holds a lot of leverage and understandably so. BCCI has pretty much convinced everyone with their defence, which too is few and far between. Sachin, under the banner of "seniors" has been a vocal critic and with atleast 2 changing their opinion about the UDRS, I think he might have to follow suit soon.

The only way BCCI and Indian team will learn is if they continue to get screwed by Umpires. Bring on the Charmness :banghead:

No UDRS for NZ series

The BCCI secretary and president-elect N Srinivasan has said that the board remains opposed to the Umpiring Decision Review System (UDRS), despite the dodgy calls that marred the closely contested Mohali Test between India and Australia. "As of now, I can tell you that we are not thinking about using the [system] for the New Zealand series [that follows the Australia series]," Srinivasan told AAP, putting to rest speculation that the BCCI could relent on its anti-UDRS stand. India emerged victorious by the closest of margins after a pulsating match which had more than its share of umpiring controversies. Michael Hussey and Gautam Gambhir got rough decisions on the fourth day, that altered the momentum of the game. On the final day, with India 11 runs away from a win, and Australia needing two wickets, Ishant Sharma was adjudged lbw to a ball sliding down the leg side. Five runs later, Pragyan Ojha survived a close call that could have given Australia the match. "Umpires are human beings and they can make errors," Srinivasan said. "Rather than stressing on the wrong decisions given, we should be happy that India have won the Test match." Ricky Ponting, the Australia captain, reaffirmed his support for the system after the match. "One thing I know about the system so far is that you definitely get more correct decisions in a game of cricket than you do without it," Ponting said. "There's no doubt, take this Test match alone, with the use of the system here I think we would've have a lot more right decisions in the game." India's antipathy towards the UDRS stems from their experience in the 2008 tour of Sri Lanka, where they were hurt by a failure to make proper use of the, then nascent, system. The system used in Sri Lanka was Virtual Eye, while the broadcaster for the Australia - India series, Neo Sports, uses Hawk-Eye, a competing technology. Since then, both technologies have been used extensively in other countries and helped weed out clear umpiring errors, if not always providing conclusive evidence for touch-and-go decisions. In recent times, some of India's players have softened their stand, with Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan expressing their support for the reviews, though the majority, including captain MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar, remains sceptical.

Go BCCI :cheer:

the one series with udrs which we played in sl has been such a horrid experience it seems like our senior cricketers dont want to give this system another chance and its such a shame as whole world has approved it but we just becoz of that horrid experience dont want to use it and we will keep on refusing it till the time we want becoz of obvious reasons and it seems like we will not let udrs be applied in world cup also

[asterix]

Technology is fine as long as it doesn't make "Elite Panel" umpires more pathetic. The "Elite Panel" is a joke.. ICC sould look into the performance of these "Elite Panel" umpires..What makes those jokers "Elite"?

[ZodiaC]

I can understand, maybe we were paranoid about not using it right in Aus series (and got almost ****ed). But the NZ series? Oh come on. So we're not going to use it anywhere until world cup?

[ZodiaC]

"Umpires are human beings and they can make errors," Srinivasan said. "Rather than stressing on the wrong decisions given, we should be happy that India have won the Test match."

Subhanallah

[BERGKAMP]

Why dont the ICC just make it compulsory for every test series to have to have the UDRS? They are the governing body of the game, and surely what they say has to go? It's stupid and inconsistent to let each individual national board decide whether or not they would like it in each series on a one by one basis.

[Sachinism]

Srinivasan wants to be an entertainer like Ijaz Butt. Such a ridiculous thing to say. We won, all is well, lets forget how we nearly robbed and move on :wall:

[Laaloo]

lol, what if India had lost the match? I guess the statement would've been a bit different :--D

[yoda]

Isn't it ironic that the Aussies are for UDRS and we are not?

Everyone is for the UDRS except for a few players from India. :two_thumbs_up:

[Laaloo]

Fricking hypocrites :mad:

[ravishingravi]

With the predictability of faithful geyser, BCCI has stuck to its guns. It will be nerve cringing whenever ball thuds on the Indian batsman's pads next test.

thevortex - Did you see that LBW decision of Hilfenhaus bowling to Vijay being turned down? Its those kind of howlers that Hawkeye would have helped change. There is no way in the world you are goign to convince me that that ball was going anywhere but the stumps.
