But failed miserably in inculcating values and fairness in people .What we have learnt is looting and indiscipline .So do not expect anything which will be fair.

field umpire should discuss with 3rd umpire
by Jomesh George on Jan 21, 2013 03:35 PM

So much frustrated with the LBW decisions after the ball nicked the bat or pitching outside the legstump.No need for a DRS to find out these things.A little conversation with 3rd umpire will be enough.3rd umpire need to decide on what he feels and if he is not sure then the field umpire decision should be held.

BCCI is not Scientifically correct
by RSS on Jan 21, 2013 02:44 PM


Technically DRS is really good for teams as it will stop bad feelings every time a player is given out incorrectly.

What Happened in England?
by stockstalks on Jan 21, 2013 02:10 PM  | Hide replies

India's Last Tour in England, Dravid were given Out wrongly 2 or 3 times even after using DRS. Even some bloggers in Rediff used to joke like DRS - Dravid Removal System. Do you have any answer for those incidents, Mr Cook? Your own Former Captain Nasser Hussain or somebody once joked Laxman might have applied vaseline on Bat, Thats why Camera can't find the nick. So will we have to depend upon the system, which is not even 80% accurate?

Dravid in a odi was given out by tv umpire when there was no hot spot
it was eng referral fine enough
but why blame drs for that
the tv umpire got it wrong simple
if he cannot detect hot spot then it his mistake not drs

another occasion it was shoe laces not bat or glove
but Dravid did not challenge he trusted Taufel and SRT both were at umpire end
was DRS at fault?

It was Michael Vaughan who told that Vaseline was applied on the bat.

India Should use DRS
by Vinod Kalra on Jan 21, 2013 12:43 PM

India should use the DRS.Surely it is not 100%correct but still it provide 4 decisions right out of 5 which is good ratio in itself.Sometimes teams have to pay heavy price for the on field umpire errors which could turn the game. Remember the second test match between India & Engalnd at Mumbai,England were 177 for 3 when the well set Cook was given not out on LBW appeal of Ojha while the tv replays clearly showed that the bowl pitched in line. That partnership of cook with KP turned the match for England and they able to get 86 runs lead which cost India heavily.

BCCI is right...

The Decision Review System has generally received positive response from players and coaches since its launch, however there have been some criticisms as well. West Indies legend Joel Garner labelled the system a 'gimmick'. Another West Indian Ramnaresh Sarwan said that he was not a supporter of the experimental referral system. Former umpire Dickie Bird also criticised the system, saying it undermines the authority of on-field umpires. The cricketing board of India, (BCCI) is not in favour of using the system.

Pakistani spinner Saeed Ajmal expressed dissatisfaction over the Decision Review System after semi-final of 2011 Cricket World Cup against India. He said that DRS showed the line of the ball deviating more than it actually did.

The first referral of the World Cup came after the 4th ball of the 2nd innings was bowled. India's Shanthakumaran Sreesanth had bowled a yorker and the umpire declared it not out. Dhoni referred it to the TV umpire and a replay showed it might have missed the leg stump, so the original decision was upheld. The match marked the debut of the umpire referral system in World Cup cricket. UDRS was used in a thrilling tie between India and England in Bangalore as MS Dhoni was annoyed by the system and said that it is an adulteration of human decision and technology, to which the ICC replied that the players should know the technology before passing judgement on it.

ICC later revised the guidelines of the 2.5m rule. Pakistan used DRS successfully against Australia in their group A match. Australian captain Ricky Ponting edged a delivery from Mohammed Hafeez and the umpire ruled it not out. The DRS system reversed this decision. This was a critical turning point in the match. The Australian skipper admitted after the match that he had edged the ball, but said he stayed at the crease because he has never been a walker. "There were no doubts about the nick - I knew I hit it," Ponting said. "But as always, I wait for the umpire to give me out. That's the way I've always played the game."

BCCI, Indian Cricketers and Indian public has no rite to complain when they loose matches if umpires have blundered.. All other countries have no issue with DRS so they can complain.. Is there any one who can counter this ?? DRS is of ICC and not of Australia or England etc..

dhoni is upset if DRS has the 2.5m rule. he is upset if umpire makes any error. he is upset at everything except himself.

DRS could have helped India win a match in Melbourne last year. Ricky Ponting was out in the 2nd innings, Hussey was twice out LBW and was also caught once in the leg side. Now, BCCI have to cry for the whitewashes as well.

From now on, tell Dhoni not to cry for umpiring errors from now on like he has been doing from west indies tour in 2011. Arrogant statements like "if umpires had given correct judgement, we could have taken rest in the hotel today" and "Umpires get handsome payments, they are supposed to take some decisions" should be tucked between hisballs from now on.

if not ready to accept DRS, let Team-BCCI endure the wrong umpiring decisions instead of cribbing.

The precise reason why bcci does not agree to drs is that they control the matches through the umpires

Venu.. They why are Indian cricketers and BCCI opposing DRS.. If India suffers then its their own dam fault and not of England or ICC... But other countries suffering due to DRS is very bad as it is purely due to BCCI
