Let's talk about the DRS

[Malcolm Merlyn]

I doubt that. Anything to back that up?

I feel we see less howlers from umpires these days.

Check the number of howlers vs India in Australia in last tour.And one ODI and another howler.

ECB and CA are hell bent on DRS.Remember its English and Aussie companies which make the stuff used in DRS.There is huge pressure from them on these boards to make ICC fund DRS.BCCI is blocking it.

Yeh kitna besharam aadmi hai.

You are national team's captain and you see kaanspiracy in 50-50 decisions not going your way. 

And his usual bullshitting about drs is what we are listening from a decade now. Bore.. zzz

[express bowling]

Why is there only one Indian umpire in the ICC elite panel ? 

We have seen so many English and Australian umpires over the years and only 2 from India after the elite panel of neutral umpires have been formed.

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.  

Then why doesn't BCCI agree to DRS on foreign tours?

What is he trying to say ? Blame something or other for poor tactics overall -_-

Taking out lovely turners from IND to AUS 

Drop in pitch

Give me the power i ll show you how its done

ADI has a really good point there

So other countries are wearing bangles? why would they allow it.If BCCI and its fans think they can win only on spinning pitches, why play these tournaments just keep playing IPL.

Even USA with all their might and clout in basketball relearned to play with Olympic rules to win gold medals.Power is about getting your opinion heard and BCCI has plenty of it,DRS is prime example.

Because they would then have no reason not to use it on home tours.  In any event, the funding question is secondary at this point.  The 'umpire's call' farce needs to be addressed to improve DRS...

[New guy]

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 

DRS is not for 50-50

This is the lamest excuse ever. DRS can easily adress howlers but lets point to umpires call. So you are ok taking 100% umpire calls (which is match without DRS) but not ok taking 10% of the referred decisions as umpires call

Calm down, dont get your panties all twisted up.  OK, let me clarify so you understand.  I'm not talking about my personal preference regarding DRS.  I was referring to the BCCI's position on the matter.  Personally, I would want BCCI to accept DRS in its current form, because, flawed as it is, it would help our team's chances of winning.  I would also want BCCI to push for changes on the implementation side.  But as much as you and I can debate what we want, BCCI's official position is pretty much set in stone at the moment, and is not going to shift unless changes in the DRS give it a fig-leaf to re-visit its stance.  

[Singh bling]

Now Rohit Sharma is given not out , what Dhoni has to say?

[Furious007]

Well there you go India get a lot of 50 50 decisions go their way as well. Rohit was clearly out and given not out all you people screaming poor India need to get a life.

Sent from India

People who complain about umpire call are those who just don't understand DRS.Umpire's call works fine.

Without Umpire's call we will face fiascos like the 08-09 Srl tour .

If BCCI doesn't want Hawkeye prediction there is nothing wrong with that.They could simply implement other features of DRS like Snicko RTS and simple replays to eliminate howlers.

But the morons at BCCI just completely refuse entire DRS becoz they don't understand some aspect of it .

Buch of idiots. The amount of matches it has cost us in last few years is beyond ridiculous.

[Trichromatic]

Rahane would have been out if we had DRS here.

[New guy]

Rahane would have been out if we had DRS here.

Pretty sure they wouldn't have referred. 

[Trichromatic]

Pretty sure they wouldn't have referred. 

With 15-20 overs left, they would have.

[New guy]

With 15-20 overs left, they would have.

He was too far ahead and there was lots of doubt

 

Well we can also say, Dhoni would have been in much earlier and we would have scored more so still India's loss

[beautifulgame]

Also I really can't believe that hit the stumps .He was so far out of his crease and it hit his knee roll

That's one of the reasons I don't trust the Hawk eye predictions .

IMO they should increase the margin of umpire call in Hawkeye and only plumb or howler LBW decisions should be overturned

[beautifulgame]

How many matches overseas we have to be screwed before the idiots at BCCI realize the importance of DRS .

We would have won both the 1st and 3rd ODI if we had DRS.

Even the test series in SA and Australia could have changed completely if we had DRS .

Yet the idiot BCCI president comes up the the same old pathetic excuse DRS is not 100% .

What a surprise when the BCCI president can't even operate computer, he struggles to understand the importance of DRS

Seriously these guys are killing Indian cricket .

And then Dhoni comes up with ridiculous conspiracy theories .Why not accept DRS instead if u feel umpires are against u ? How on earth is having DRS worse that losing every series away from home ?

God know how frustrating this is to be an Indian fan with these idiots in charge
