As per the playing conditions for cricket's showpiece set out by the International Cricket Council, DRS will be used in all matches. DRS, which has been used in Test matches selectively when the two competing teams' Boards have agreed to its implementation, has been consistently opposed by the Indian board. Sri Lanka's former World Cup-winning skipper Arjuna Ranatunga on Wednesday came out wholeheartedly in its support at a function. "If ICC has the technology, they might as well use it and give the benefit to the players. It is a World Cup and one decision can change the game," said Ranatunga. DRS, which has been used in some bilateral Test series while ignored for others due to lack of agreement between the concerned boards, would be making its entry for the first time in ODI cricket. "Each team is allowed to make two unsuccessful Player Review requests per innings. If a Player Review results in the umpire reversing his original decision, then the request has been successful and does not count towards the innings limit. If the umpire's decision is unchanged, the Player Review is unsuccessful," the playing conditions state. "After two unsuccessful requests by one team, no further Player Review requests will be allowed by that team during the current innings," say the playing conditions for the tournament about DRS. "If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds a decision of 'Out', but for a different mode of dismissal from that for which the original decision was given, then the request will still be regarded as unsuccessful. "If following a Player Review, an umpire upholds a decision of 'Not Out' on account of the delivery being a no ball for any reason, thereby not requiring any review of the ball's subsequent trajectory, then this will not be counted as an unsuccessful request and not count towards the innings limit." The TV umpires have also been given a guide about balls pitching within the stumps for interpreting the laws on leg before wicket if called to use DRS. "When using technology to determine where the ball pitched (as per Law 36.1(), the third umpire should refer to the 'point' (or centre) of the ball. Therefore if at least 50 percent of the ball pitches outside the line of leg stump, then no LBW dismissal is possible. "When using a replay to determine the moment at which the wicket has been put down (as per Law 28.1), the third umpire should deem this to be the first frame in which one of the bails is shown (or can be deduced) to have lost all contact with the top of the stumps and subsequent frames show the bail permanently removed from the top of the stumps." Law 36 deals with LBW decisions and the relevant subsection is about the ball pitching in line with wicket and wicket or on the off side of the striker's wicket. In case of a tie at the Group stage, which constitutes the first round, the teams would get one point each. In all subsequent matches (from the quarterfinals) the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine the winner, the playing conditions state. In the event of teams finishing on equal points in its Group, the right to play in the quarterfinals will be decided in the following order of priority: The team with the most wins in the Group matches will be placed in the higher position. If there are teams with equal points and equal wins in the Group matches then in such case the team with the higher net-run-rate in the Group matches will be placed in the higher position. If following the net-run-rate calculation above there are teams which are still equal, then the team with the higher number of wickets taken per balls bowled in the Group matches in which results were achieved will be placed in the higher position. If still equal, the team which was the winner of the head-to-head match played between them will be placed in the higher position. In the highly unlikely event that teams cannot be separated by the above, this will be done by drawing lots. In the quarterfinals and semifinals, if following a tie, weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, or if the match is a no result, then the team that finished in the higher position in the Group stage shall proceed to the semifinals or final, as the case may be. In the event of a tied final or no result, the teams shall compete in a one over per side eliminator to determine which team is the winner. If weather conditions prevent the one over eliminator from being completed, the teams will be declared joint winners. White "Kookaburra" brand balls are to be used in the tournament. The umpires have been instructed to be very strict on wide balls on either side of the wicket. "Any offside or leg-side delivery which in the opinion of the umpire does not give the batsman a reasonable opportunity to score shall be called a wide," the playing conditions state. Except for the Chinnaswamy Stadium at Bangalore, which has been given a concession of four yards, the playing area shall be a minimum of 150 yards from boundary to boundary square of the pitch with the shorter of the two square boundaries being a minimum 65 yards. The straight boundaries should be a minimum of 70 yards from the centre of the pitch. No boundary should exceed 90 yards. There is also a provision for repair or change of the pitch if it is considered too dangerous for play by the on-field umpires which has to be done in consultation with the ICC match referee and with the agreement of the two captains. A minimum of 14.28 overs per hour have to be bowled after the umpires give allowance for time lost due to unavoidable stoppages, including application of DRS.
saneindian Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Two key decisions there, DRS and using Kookaburra. Will this be the first time that an international tournament in India will be played using the Kookaburra balls? Also, do they have reserve days for every prelim match during the group stages or for that matter for the knock out matches?
Sachinism Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 I thought UDRS will only be used for Semi's and Final, how comes they suddenly changed their mind I really hope India get some practice on using it.
cowboysfan Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 arent all white loi balls kookaburra?
Feed Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 ‘We've done our homework on DRS’ : Dhoni More.. ‘We've done our homework on DRS’ HT Correspondent, Hindustan Times New Delhi, February 03, 2011 India has been a strong critic of the Decision Review System (DRS) since its introduction in November 2009. India skipper MS Dhoni and his men though will have to accept use of the technology which will make its World Cup debut later this month. Despite the skepticism of the BCCI about the DRS, Dhoni said on Wednesday that his team was prepared to take it in their stride. “We have done our homework and we are alright with it. It will have its share of advocates and critics as the tournament progresses but one can't really help it,” he said. The system is in an experimental stage. It has been in vogue in Test matches and made its ODI debut in the ongoing Australia-England series. The ICC had announced last month it will go ahead with it in the World Cup. The technology, however, will be employed from the quarterfinal stage. While leading players like Australian skipper Ricky Ponting have previously endorsed the use of technology, Dhoni's stand seemed to be more due to helplessness than conviction. However, Dhoni was relived with the World Cup format this time, unlike the previous World Cup in 2007 where India's defeat against Bangladesh eventually led to their first round exit. “It is a bit of a relief. It should work for all teams as your road to the quarterfinals is not blocked even if you lose a match here and there,” he said. Dhoni's stand on both the format as well as the DRS has been backed by fellow team members, including Tendulkar, who according to him, will be playing in his last World Cup. Dhoni wants to dedicate WC to Sachin “Though we want him to continue for another World Cup or two, practically speaking, this may well be his final one. The entire team wants to put in that extra effort so that we can dedicate the victory to him,” said Dhoni, adding that it would be the best gift for the master.
Gunner_Mania Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I thought UDRS will only be used for Semi's and Final, how comes they suddenly changed their mind I really hope India get some practice on using it. I thought it was always going to be used for all matches. It was only Hotspot that was going to be available only from semis onwards due to the logistical issues.
fineleg Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 MSD is just saying we are prepared. India has pretty much nil experience with UDRS. Expect goof ups by kaptaan kool and other players with this system.

Expect goof ups by kaptaan kool and other players with this system. MSD missed the lankan tour,i think he may have handled it better if he was the captain.
Sachinism Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 No Hot Spot for World Cup Hot Spot will not be part of the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS) that will be used during the 2011 ICC World Cup, reducing the system to its basic requirements: a ball-tracker (in this case Hawk-Eye), a super slow-mo camera and a 'clear' stump microphone. In October 2010, the ICC had announced that the Hot Spot cameras would be used in the semi-finals and final of the World Cup, to be held in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh from Feb 19 to April 2. An ICC spokesman, however, confirmed to ESPNcricinfo on Saturday that, "the supplier of the Hot Spot technology advised that it was not willing to supply its cameras for the tournament so, accordingly, they will not be used at any stage in the tournament. The use of these cameras is not a minimum requirement for the DRS." While the Hot Spot cameras are not a minimum requirement of the UDRS, they are thought to provide among the most accurate images of the contact between ball and bat, or pad, using infrared thermal imaging. The owners of the Hot Spot technology, Melbourne based BBG Sport, were unwilling to comment on their decision. The Hot Spot infrared cameras form part of military hardware used in jetfighters, tanks and warships, and they fall under the category of restricted equipment which needs a temporary export licence from the Australian Defence Department whenever they are taken out of the country. Part of that licence includes the return of the cameras to Australia within a seven-day period after the end of the event in which they are being used. The cameras were first brought into India during the 2009 Champions League Twenty20 event. It is possible that the logistical hurdle of moving the cameras, which are both expensive and sensitive security equipment, in and out of Sri Lanka and India could have led to the decision. India remains the only country in cricket that has not accepted the UDRS. Ironically, the only part of UDRS technology basket that is considered by the Indians to be the most trustworthy is the Hot Spot camera. http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/current/story/499653.html
Jersey #10 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 Hot Spot is by far the best way to tell if there was bat contact or not in both LBWs and caught behind.
coffee_rules Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 No Hot Spot fixers for this World cup either!
cowboysfan Posted February 5, 2011 Author Posted February 5, 2011 I wouldnt say hot spot is vital for UDRS but without the results are not that good.
IKnowU Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Restricted equipment :hmmm: Im pretty sure hotspot was originally developed for military grade usage. But now its also applicable through commercial use, but still has to go through heavy security checks and protection of these cameras anywhere they go.
