cowboysfan Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 this is some wild speculation from the toiletpaper because the notorious UDRS haer Srini has taken a temporary hiatus,nothing has changed and the indian players still dont trust the UDRS.
Crookbond Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Then why not all the decisions by the third umpire itself' date=' be it howler or close call. The on field umpires will be there to give wides and carry the sweaters or caps of the players :dontknow:[/quote'] Time - on field umpires will take lesser time then every decision to be reviewed by the 3rd umpire.
Muloghonto Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 It can then turn into a gamble and not as much a game of skill. The same can be said when a player makes a mistake. Mistakes always turns a game on its head, whether it comes from a player or an umpire.
Muloghonto Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Harder to fix matches with DRS' date=' only reason why BCCI has not accepted it.[/quote'] Err its easier to fix matches with DRS because it doesnt require any umpiring involvement. In non DRS situation, incentive exists in trying to bribe umpires to bring forth a decision. In the DRS system, there is no point to it, so one less piece of the puzzle required to fix the match.
Crookbond Posted June 14, 2013 Posted June 14, 2013 BCCI will oppose DRS at the ICC Meet: Sanjay Patel http://sports.ndtv.com/cricket/news/209252-bcci-will-oppose-drs-at-the-icc-meet-sanjay-patel "There is no question of agreeing upon the uniform implementation of the DRS. India's stand has been very clear from the onset and we are against the use of DRS in Test series. There will be no change in our stand at the ICC Annual Conference in London," Patel, who will be attending the CEO's meet during the Annual Conference, told PTI on Friday. Patel also said that technically BCCI is not in a position to change its point of view on the DRS issue. "It was an unanimous decision taken by the Working Committee that BCCI will be opposing DRS as we don't find it foolproof. If we have to change our stand then it needs to be ratified by the Working Committee which hasn't been done in this case. So the question of agreeing with DRS doesn't arise as it doesn't have the approval of the working committee," Patel explained. Asked whether BCCI will be able to withstand the pressure from ICC regarding the implementation, Patel countered, "How can they just think of imposing something unilaterally on BCCI? It doesn't work like that." Srinivasan! :protest:

Era of Gold Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 What a piss poor state cricket is in. One nation is deciding the rules because they have a lot of money.
superstar Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 What a piss poor state cricket is in. One nation is deciding the rules because they have a lot of money. And other nations are following them :finger::finger:
Era of Gold Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 And other nations are following them :finger::finger: Sorry what?
FischerTal Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Sorry what? and other nations are following them :finger::finger:
yoda Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 And other nations are following them :finger::finger: and other nations are following them :finger::finger: They are not. We are alone in this drama and making a fool out of ourselves and managing to come out as arrogant at the same time.
hhunaeh Posted June 15, 2013 Author Posted June 15, 2013 They are not. We are alone in this drama and making a fool out of ourselves and managing to come out as arrogant at the same time. Do all the nations have the money to implement this system in all the matches? And will the british defence industry allow its thermal imaging cameras to used in countries like pakistan and sri lanka?The australian cameras which were being used previously had these restrictions.

Meh. Then they'll use what's available. The system is meant to eliminate howlers so even without advanced tech, it shouldn't be a problem.

Era of Gold Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 why not use DRS without hawkeye and hotspot? Why? What's wrong with using it when's it's available but also having the system in place where it's not?
ShanS Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 ^^ So outside subcontinent, teams will be able to use HawkEye+Hotspot while in sub-continent teams will use ONLY HawkEye. :hysterical: IIRC, there were reports that the in a series played in SL, cameras that were used to track the ball for HawkEye weren't of the same quality of cameras that were being used in ENG & AUS. So 'without advanced tech' it IS a problem.

Muloghonto Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 Why? What's wrong with using it when's it's available but also having the system in place where it's not? Because hawkeye is a steaming pile of BS ?
Muloghonto Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 What a piss poor state cricket is in. One nation is deciding the rules because they have a lot of money. That nation and its cricket board, by default, represent the masses of cricket followers so assuming BCCI is catering to the interests of Indian cricket and its fans, it is by default, catering to the interest of cricket and the majority of its followers. India is cricket. The rest of the nations exist to make up the numbers but cricket = India. Market forces dictate that and no sport has survived by resiting the market force. They've either resisted and caved or resisted and faded away. Cricket will be no exception and the only way cricket is going to succeed, is by catering to the larger interests of Indian cricket. Rest of the nations simply should accept that.
Era of Gold Posted June 15, 2013 Posted June 15, 2013 You guys are unbelievably arrogant. Can you imagine if it were Australia or England deciding a certain rule? You'd all be livid. I don't know what experience you guys have had but in most matches I've seen, DRS is becoming better and better. I haven't seen DRS mess up something in WI's recent matches.
