FischerTal Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Salute Dhoni and BCCI for opposing DRS. This is one messed up technology. It cost Australia a test match. Hotspot is absolute bullcrap. :isalute:
FischerTal Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 When in doubt, give the decision in favor of England. Feck you DRS :finger: :finger:
cowboysfan Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 I am glad they are waiting it out so they can perfect it and clearly define umpire roles,each third umpire behaves as if he is the on field umpire.
coffee_rules Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Why should third umpire wait for a referral when he can spot howlers? inside-edged lbws, slip catches, etc.
The Outsider Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Nothing wrong with DRS - DRS can't eradicate the incompetency of umpires. Dhoni and BCCI are still idiots for not adopting the system.
adi B Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 india should play with DRS else get ready for day in day out howlers from blokes like dar,erasmus.. though that being said,hot spots has gone dogs
zep1706 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 DRS as it is now is not acceptable. There are a number of things that needs to be changed. I am not against a review system. But in its present form it is nothing but bullcrap.
FischerTal Posted July 14, 2013 Author Posted July 14, 2013 Nothing wrong with DRS - DRS can't eradicate the incompetency of umpires. Dhoni and BCCI are still idiots for not adopting the system. Umpire's Call is absolutely ridiculous. How can you support that?
div Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 http://www.indianexpress.com/news/bridgetown-test-wrong-replay-shown-to-give-dhoni-out/810822/ In what could erupt into a major controversy, the television replays ordered to check if Fidel Edwards had no-balled didn't show that particular ball, instead some other legitimate delivery was shown to give Dhoni out.
Number Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Would you take another Sydeny over DRS ? DRS is ok, hot-spot is really poor and should be scrapped. DRS can be implemented in a better way.
kubrickian Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 India already used Hot spot in England series but they rejected it later because they found it flawed. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/does-drs-means-dravid-removal-system/358728-78.html Chester-le-Street: Rahul Dravid continues to be at the receiving end of controversial decisions on the current England tour as he was once again on Saturday ruled out caught behind despite 'Hot Spot' not detecting an edge off his bat. England paceman Stuart Broad appealed for a catch behind the wicket off his own bowling in the first ODI here, but umpire Billy Doctrove ruled the appeal not out. After England asked for a review, despite several replays, the edge off Dravid's bat could not be established. How on the earth Dravid was still given out can only be told by one man, third umpire Marais Erasmus. Earlier, in the third Test, Dravid was ruled caught-behind off James Anderson in India's second innings even though his bat had hit his shoelace, and not the ball. Then, in the fourth Test, he was again given out caught-behind in India's second innings after a referral by England, even though the snickometer apparently showed that there was no contact between the ball and bat before it landed into England wicket-keeper Matt Prior's gloves. These incidents are sure to fuel the DRS debate and add strength to BCCI's stand as they have opposed the adoption of DRS expressing doubts on technology. On a different note, this England tour seems to have everything to do with Dravid. When India need runs, it's Dravid. When India need batsmen for Twenty20 and ODIs, it's Dravid. And when it comes to DRS controversies, it's Dravid who has to be on the receiving end of it.
The Outsider Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Umpire's Call is absolutely ridiculous. How can you support that? Umpire's call happens for close decisions - DRS is meant to eliminate howlers.
zep1706 Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 Umpire's call happens for close decisions - DRS is meant to eliminate howlers. And it's doing everything else but that. There was only one howler in this test and that remained so. Surely there must be something wrong?
indiefan Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 India already used Hot spot in England series but they rejected it later because they found it flawed. http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/does-drs-means-dravid-removal-system/358728-78.html Erasmus there as well. :hmmm:
asterix Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 It's not the DRS, it's the Third Umpire who needs to be 'overhauled'... :cantstop:
The Outsider Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 And it's doing everything else but that. There was only one howler in this test and that remained so. Surely there must be something wrong? It happened because the team had used it's reviews for chindi decisions rather than using it for howlers - how is it the system's fault if teams are using it for a purpose it was not designed for?
adi B Posted July 14, 2013 Posted July 14, 2013 ^what can one expect from erasmus and dar,2 of the most sh1tiest umpires
