BCCI mulling scaled down version of DRS for IPL

Good move. Not sure how effective will it be though. Do we know how many reviews (%) are for lbw?

They need to keep reviews forsituations when batsmen edges it and is given lbw as what happened to bhajji against Broad at Trent Bridge in 2011.

How about including LBW without the predictive element. Add it for where the ball pitched, where the impact was and whether there was an inside edge.. These are clean, easy to correct errors with simple, slow-mo replays...

 

They should use this format of LBW reviews along with Hotspot and Snicko for all Home tours

I remember India using DRS in the 2011 tour to England where we had DRS without the lbw decision. It ended up being a disaster for us. Still remember broad's hat trick against us which included a massive error in getting Bhajji out LBW when there was a massive inside edge and bhajji couldn't use the Drs because of the stupid rule of not using DRS for lbws.

They have an issue with "Umpire's Call". There should be no reason to lose a review because the technology is not good enough.

That is a different issue altogether.. I was only talking about removing LBW from DRS vs having it with simple slo-mo replays to check for where the ball pitches and whether there was an inside edge

I don't think you got my point. You wanted to include LBW w/o predictive element. But, that won't settle one of their major issue which is losing a review due to umpire's call. Mind you - umpire's call is also used for the ball pitching in line.

The technology is good enough to spot howlers. They shouldn't have to go through the umpire's call if they review only the clear howlers in the first place, which is what DRS is meant for.

The reason they lose the review is not because the technology isn't good enough. It's because they haven't used the DRS for what it was intended, and have wasted crucial game time in their greed for a decision in their favour.

I don't agree, the "Umpire's Call" is tricky one. Had the umpire given out, it stays. But then, even clipping the stumps is never a guarantee because it is mathematical simulation that Hawkeye does. I don't think the BCCI like that aspect of DRS especially.

Why is "had the umpire given out, it stays" a problem? It is the most logical thing to do given the fact that they haven't reviewed a howler and the on field umpire is the best person to take the decision since DRS shouldn't have been used for non-howlers.

Because the technology is not foolproof and Umpire's Call can go either way and is a tad unfair.That is one of the concerns of the BCCI.

Technology is foolproof to spot howlers. If it goes to umpire's call then team that reviewed was dumb and greedy because they didn't review a howler.

Disagree again. I have seen very close decisions being not given and then the "Umpire's Call" comes up. They are close to howlers, but instead of making the right decision, the technology leaves it to the umpires.

Also, as I said before, there are aspersions on ball tracking.

^ Can you provide an example where a howler went to umpire's call? Close decisions aren't howlers, obvious ones are.

I cannot give a specific example. But, I have seen where howlers get away because of just clipping the stumps. But then ball tracking isn't reliable, making the whole system kinda unreliable. So, it is not foolproof.

You mean situations where umpires declared it not out and drs changed it to out?

How is umpire's call unfair? It doesn't change the decision. If you are not using drs for umpire's call then also decision remains same. Team shouldn't lose a review though.
