Let's talk about the DRS

[adi B]

Its time I think,kohli wants it but I doubt bcci will want it because of its cost (not that they cant afford it but they don't want to lol)

[Mosher]

They have to drop this 100% accuracy BS. High time India accepts DRS else we will keep getting screwed by chuts like Adharmasena and Vineet Kulkarni.

Shashank Manohar, the BCCI president, has closed the door on the Decision Review System (DRS), saying that unless the system became "foolproof", India's stance would remain unchanged

No DRS for the foreseeable future for Indian team.Thought with regime change we might have a change but unfortunately Manohar seems as thick headed as Srini when it comes to technology

No DRS until it becomes 'foolproof' - Manohar

Umpires are humans  and Humans are prone to errors.

[Singh bling]

They pretty much give 50 - 50's to home side

Same shit happened in Beggardesh and same thing again in AUS

and then we got vineet kulkarni  who gives wrong once against his own team and makes it lose 

The type of cricket craze is in BD i can understand their umpires will be biased, but seriously Australia ? those people didn't care about World cup , do they care about ODI series?

[adi B]

He's right actually,the umpires(by and large) hate the bcci because of how they've treated them in the recent years by lodging complaints and removing them (bcci not wrong tbh) and its pretty much obvious close decisions and 50-50 calls goes against india and SC teams at large especially when playing against aus and England .but then no point in crying foul when you have the option (a sensible one) to implement drs but no bcci is too adamant and money minded,they hardly care if we lose this even 5-0.

Its the new players who have to suffer because of bcci and some senior player's stand!!

I heard something like ICC said they take whole of it or nothing

 

But since BCCI got the power.. Could they not say F off we will do it this way for our BI - series ? WTF is ICC problem then ? They can implement full on in there ICC tournaments as they wish..

 

So BCCI power in ICC is just a joke

Only deluded neighbouring country fans are saying ICC = BCCI. That is never seem to be the case. If then, we should have won the world cup last year.

How would have they won, no power can change outcome on the field in such high profile tournaments.

[sandeep]

BCCI's #1 issue with DRS is, as usual, $$$.  India has so many stadiums, it would cost a LOT to get the technology installed at all of them. And on top of that, the DRS system comes with strings attached - it is vendor specific so BCCI doesn't have much leeway in negotiating.  IIRC, in early discussions of DRS, BCCI was pushing for a different implementation, and was not so stridently against it.

Irony is, as it turns out, DRS does have some serious flaws in it, so BCCI's dollar-driven stand actually has some sort of leg to stand on now.

Some deluded Bangladesh fans said that they would have won the Quarter final last year had not for the umpires who were fixed by ICC = BCCI apparently.

By the way are we the only country now in the world that doesn't support the DRS??

[Adi_91]

In fact, the BCCI can say that they will give the DRS a fair chance and use it in the IPL (may be next year) which will have the same umpires that stand for International games anyway. See how it goes.

Better to give it a fair chance and see if it works or not rather than just blocking it. It may not be superb and the best policy, but something that is better than nothing.

[Adi_91]

Those beggars are un educated.. They attack die hard cricket Fans (sudhir for example) and even there own cricketer's sister on FB.. Who gives a shit what they think about ???  Minnows got in ZIM like 10000 times in year LOL

No one invites those beggars so lets not even talk about that minnows its just a waste of our time

Yes , just us 

Terrible. BCCI needs to review its stance and maybe talk to ICC and see if their concerns can be addressed.

Meanwhile, Haddin takes a dig at our team for this reason.

[bowl_out]

Pathetic.. If they have a problem with ball tracking, why can't they at least persuade ICC to give them DRS without that predictive element?

BCCI and Dhoni have become a laughing stock, complaining about umpires and conspiracies... Not far away from being labeled similar to our whining 'Tiger' neighbors.

No country install in their stadiums. There are a very few Hotspot cameras available. They only carry them from stadium to stadium in every country.

Who said they don't care about WC.. You must be joking mate...

Last year grounds were empty,there were even articles that people and media are not showing much interest in WC despite their team winning.World cup was not even given headlines in sports section of newspaper

[Lannister]

So typical of Dhobi. He is probably trying to deflect attention from the obvious captaincy problems in that game. Anyways judging from Dhobi's appeal I don't think he thought it was out. 

[Malcolm Merlyn]

I agree with Dhoni.Too many decisions going againist India these days.

[Trichromatic]

I doubt that. Anything to back that up?

I feel we see less howlers from umpires these days.
