We have witnessed application of Hot spot technology in last test in sydney. Ian bell clearly nicked tha ball but hot spot did not support it and he survives... The same thing with Hawk eye technology....hawkeye hold the line it does not cover the swing....i think decision should be kept to field umpires...although they can make amistake as technology can...
this is best exaple why india is still developing country. all other countries adopt latest technologies, move forward but indian and politician still have communist mentalities will not improves themselves or let others to grow
Jokers of BCCI... if u are not convinced about UDRS then u should not partcipate in WC matches at all...why this double standards for the sake fo ur personal benefits..

under performance is the easiest way to fix. what stops a player from throwing his wicket, while making it look genuine ?

think from the BCCI's point of view. How can they then b-r-i-b-e the umpires for a favourable decision.

Because the system is intended to get rid of OBVIOUS mistakes. But less often the captains are using for that purpose. Whenever there is a 50-50 shout for LBW of crucial batsman, the review is used just for a hope.

SH:
The number of reviews has been limited for THAT very purpose... No team can go beyond 2 such unsuccessful reviews - as we discovered to our great disadvantage in Sri Lanka...
Which is probably why we are not agreeing to the system. But that's not the system's fault; as you very rightly pointed out... :)
While BCCI opposed UDRS for the SA series, it will have to use it during the ICC WC next month. This is sheer hypocrisy by the richest cricket admin body in the world ? If a technology is available to review on-field umpire decisions why not use it ? After all it's similar to the referral to 3rd umpire which is in use already. So much for transparency !!

3rd umpire system does not track the movement of the ball you fool, it only shows us "slow motion" decisions, which are only helpful in case of run outs, stump outs or on field catches...

Common man you lack Common sense.. World cup is an ICC event so BCCI have no rights to decide wheteher to use it or not.

Nice to know that Test matches are NOT ICC events, and that India does NOT actually hold the #1 ICC Test team spot according to YOUR common sense... :)

Well, World Cup is an ICC event and if ICC decided to use it, they obviously can," said Srinivasan, also the BCCI president-elect. I hope it is clear now!
review the process. UDRS seems to be in the right direction.
we'll use it after they improve the whole tech. its still raw now. especially the lbw and hawkeye.
clarke and smith are shouting only when it hurts them. they claim as if they've lost the series because of a decision or tow. trivializing their own inadequacies.
why have umpires on the field at all if UDRS solves all the prblems ? why have it for 2-3 calls by each team ? what happens if the teams get it wrong, and then they have some grave injustice happening after that ? the laws are stupid right now. if UDRS applies let it be for ALL decisions, and we'll get rid of the umpires on field.
Re: we can approve UDRS slowly
by abhishek kulkarni on Jan 07, 2011 08:55 AM
Whatever was supposed to be done has already been done. There is no need to review or anything. No system is 100% accurate. Srinivas is an idiot. Are the umpires 100% foolproof? Come man. Don't be ridiculous. The UDRS is always better than the umpires - and slowly should be used for ALL decisions, because truth can and should never be restricted..
The BCCI is just interested in showing off its clout to the cricketing world. Are all the other boards fools to have implemented the UDRS?
