yoda Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 ^^Oh please. The BCCI is only going with what players like Dhoni, SRT and Kumble had recommended to them. You think they are doing this cause it saves them a few bucks or they want a few more bucks?

With whatever we know, Indian players (SRT and Dhoni mainly from the current ones) aren't convinced of the accuracy of technology. That is the reason. Now, I would like the ICC to just tell all boards that technology is on and just ask the BCCI to STFU.

Cricketics Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 BCCI.. WHY DON'T YOU APPEAL AGAINST NO USE OF TECHNOLOGY WHY RUN OUT DECISION GOES TO THE THIRD UMPIRE. ISN'T THAT A technology usage too, when replays are displayed from 4 different angles to predict if its out or not. It might not be accurate, but it's atleast better than the umpires who are shown to be wrong most of the times..
The Outsider Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 Once ICC are able to take responsibility that they will pay for all technology, like they do for umpires, and the technology available would be uniform in all matches, BCCI would have little wriggle room. The onus is on the ICC to cut off this farce from the BCCI.
kumble_rocks Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 UDRS has worked for fast paced games like American Football. I fail to understand why it won't work for cricket. BCCI has got it all wrong here.
ludhianvi Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I get a feeling that some of the Indian batsmen feel they're better off without UDRS. What's worked in their favor is that India hasn't lost a Test match due to a bad decision...Mohali was a close one. Other than that, there's no other logical reason.
Homerus_Unus Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 we’re amongst the team that probably has the least amount of exposure and experience in how to use the system. That is worrying because there is a lot of thought/logic that goes into referring decisions. The England team, especially Andrew Struass are excellent in choosing which decision to refer and which to pass. Yep, the lack of exposure worries me. BCCI won't be able to play hardball with this much longer and the longer we shield our team from the UDRS, the more I am afraid of our cricket team turning into the hockey squad of the past which kept carping about being champions on grass to cover up their inability to play on the faster astro-turf surface. I will be livid beyond imagination if we eff up our WC chances because we didn’t know how to use the UDRS in the Qtr/semi final of the WC. We failed to gain some experience with the UDRS in this series, and our next stop is the World Cup. I think we've already mucked up our chances somewhat, if not to a large extent, to gain some experience with the system.
Sachinism Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 The Indian team will have to spend training session practising how to use UDRS :(
