No UDRS for Pak's series'

[Vijay.Sharma]

I thought UDRS was supposed to be mandatory from now onwards? http://www.espncricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/532121.html

Soon there wont be any DRS for any series. Why would any board spent money on some technology unless ICC got balls to implement it. Honestly, I think ICC should generate revenue from each game played and pay for DRS instead of relying on individual boards.

[Vijay.Sharma]

I'd rather do away with all those fancy gadgets and just use the good old replays for the DRS. The intent is to reverse howlers and replays are more than enough to reverse howlers

[ganeshran]

BCCI's two main reasons for the opposition to technology was its accuracy and the cost to respective boards. Both reasons have been vindicated with many boards not being able to pay for the technology and hawk eye admitting error in their ball tracking technology. Hotspot has been proved to be wrong quite a few times in the Ind-Eng series. Whatever the rules, they should be applied uniformly. As far as lbw decisions are concerned - inside edges, pitching outside leg and impact outside are fairly clear decisions with no ambiguity. Let the review cover only these points rather than ball tracking which has been shown to have less than optimal accuracy

They can't afford it

How would the Sky crew react to this? Would Nasser Hussain rip into PCB or will he have sympathy for them?

[Rightarmfast]

Nasseer Hussain is media savvy.. A comment against pakistan doesnt make a spicy reading as one against India. I would assume he will keep shut and be a donkey which he is.
