1983-2011 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 India have again struck down the latest attempt to bring more consistency to the implementation of the DRS by threatening to pull out of any tour in which the host country insisted on using the technology. At the ICC executive meeting in Dubai the ECB, represented by chairman Giles Clarke, was the only board that spoke in favour of a policy change where the approval of the host country would be enough to implement the DRS. N Srinivasan, the BCCI chief, shot down the proposal and ESPNcricinfo understands that the remaining boards did not make a stand. Srinivasan's concerns are understood to still centre on a belief that the technology could be easily manipulated and is unreliable. It has been learnt that he made the claim that India would pull out of bilateral series if a system was in place where the home side could insist on the DRS. Though the DRS issue was not even listed on the agenda, or in the post-meeting press release dispatched, it was discussed at length in the wake of a renewed push during the ICC chief executives committee (CEC) meeting last month, for universal implementation of the referral system. At that meeting, held on December 4, every member with the exception of India had backed a change in the DRS implementation policy. The existing playing conditions require the approval of both countries on DRS during a bilateral series, but the CEC suggested a change in policy that would see the home board having the right to choose the use of the DRS regardless of what the opposition wanted. The CEC recommended that the issue should be resolved via a vote during the executive board meeting. In the end there was no vote as most of 13-man strong board (10 Full Members plus three Associates) failed to stand up to Srinivasan. Only Clarke, who supported the CEC recommendation, felt it warranted a discussion this week again. This is not the first time the BCCI has opposed the rest of the members on the DRS. At the ICC's last annual conference in Kuala Lumpur, the CEC had passed the resolution to make the DRS mandatory for all events. The move was then passed to the executive board which had to ratify the decision. But despite the push from the CECs, the head of the Full Member boards refrained from putting the issue to vote. http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci-icc/content/story/602944.html?CMP=chrome
Karan114 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Even by the pathetic standards of BCCI presidents, this N Srinivasan character is something else, isn't he? Not only has India become a third rate team because of him, Srinivasan is continuing India's reputation as the most arrogant of bullies.
NareshK Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Srinivasan's concerns are understood to still centre on a belief that the technology could be easily manipulated and is unreliable. It has been learnt that he made the claim that India would pull out of bilateral series if a system was in place where the home side could insist on the DRS. Is there any truth to this ?
CSK Fan Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Is there any truth to this ? Yes, didnt we change the ball trajectory in Sachin's LBW appeal during WC semis? Srini is speaking from experience
Lord Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Is there any truth to this ? yes,ask Pakis.Tendu was out in the WC SF:secret:
G_B_ Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 did Srinivasan really say that? there is no direct proof he said it. why do i get a feeling cricinfo seems to paint the bcci in the worst possible light?
NareshK Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 did Srinivasan really say that? there is no direct proof he said it. why do i get a feeling cricinfo seems to paint the bcci in the worst possible light? Yes, they didnt directly quote him on that. They said its understood to have centered on a belief. Probably Cricinfo made that up. I think BCCI's objection to DRS is more because of financial reasons than anything else. They dont want to spend money to the technology providers for every series.
saneindian Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Upto the newly appointed India Cements VP now to convince his corporate bosses to accept DRS. Whats the point in making mock referral signs during international matches yet continue to act like bullies when it comes for discussion at ICC forums? Or maybe the hawkeye and hotspot manufacturers need to get into a collaboration with CSK.
Iconoclast Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 :hysterical::hysterical: what a bunch of whiny kunts the bcci are
Iconoclast Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Is there any truth to this ? No .. and thats not the reason BCCI does not want DRS. DRS is in favor of bowlers and shortens matches ... thereby decreasing ad revenue and BCCI profits.

I think BCCI's objection to DRS is more because of financial reasons than anything else. They dont want to spend money to the technology providers for every series. Well in the past we have had headlines like "it is rumoured" "a commentator said dhoni was given the MOM award" untill there is a direct quote from somebody who was at the meeting who can confirm what is said nothing is for sure. If i was Srinivasan i will take cricinfo to court, where they can either (A) name the source of has been leaking (B) accept they dont have proof and made things up
Number Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 :hysterical::hysterical: what a bunch of whiny kunts the bcci are I am no fan of BCCI on this issue but why can't other boards boycott BCCI on this, that would make me happy. Surely you know who the whiny kunts are and who is the powerful smug.
NareshK Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 No .. and thats not the reason BCCI does not want DRS. DRS is in favor of bowlers and shortens matches ... thereby decreasing ad revenue and BCCI profits. It could also help batsmen from getting bad decisions and lengthens the game and increase ad revenue. :hmmm:
PhilandersSwing Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 no1 should play against India ,and just sacrifice money for a year. The BCCI will change their tune quick , why do they keep thinking they are above the game ?
Iconoclast Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 It could also help batsmen from getting bad decisions and lengthens the game and increase ad revenue. :hmmm: Without DRS benefit of doubt is given to the batsmen ... take that benefit away wickets start tumbling ... remember the series India played in Lanka and how Mendes benefited from the DRS ?
Trichromatic Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Srini is trying to avoid away tours so that he can keep Dhoni as test captain and save India from losses in SA and Eng.
NareshK Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Without DRS benefit of doubt is given to the batsmen ... take that benefit away wickets start tumbling ... remember the series India played in Lanka and how Mendes benefited from the DRS ? That was a worthless technology which made BCCI very suspicious of referral system. The present system is much more advanced and accurate than that.
Iconoclast Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 no1 should play against India ' date='and just sacrifice money for a year. The BCCI will change their tune quick , why do they keep thinking they are above the game ?[/quote'] +1 Better yet ... other boards shouldn't let their players play in IPL ... that would make BCCI poop in their pants.
