YES.FURTHER .UMPIRES SEEM NOT YET READY FOR DRS.
by damodaran mohan on Jul 17, 2013 06:48 PM

Yes, DRS certainly need improvement but ultimately DRS has to be introduced compulsorily. One must understand and accept that DRS are not supposed to give you 100% correct decisions.So all those opposing DRS especially BCCI must take that thinking out. DRS are primarily meant to assist the on-field umpires improve decision making by minimizing human errors . Hence the no of correct decisions with DRS will always be more than w/o DRS.Problem comes when a particular side exhausts its quota and subsequently the umpire gives wrong decision against the side. We saw this happening for the Aus side when thick edge of Chris broad was given not out by the umpitre. In such a situation the whole game environment gets vitiated and becomes worse than had the same wrong decision been given w/o DRS system in the match. What happens is when a decision is ‘reversed’ it could hurt umpires ego and his attitude could change.So before introducing DRS the umpires must be trained and mentally prepared suitably to handle DRS reversals in the right spirit. Alternately the DRS powers could be given to the 3rd umpire to go for it whenever he feels necessary. Besides, there are other Technical issues of accuracy which need to be improved as seen in case of decision pertaining to Trott and Haddin. The latter was given out using snickometer and not ‘hot spot’.

Reviews must be unlimited DRS get better
by nikla tapala on Jul 16, 2013 08:10 AM

Why should reviews be limited ? If there is an appeal it should be checked by the third umpire using DRS, Snikcometer and and any other technology indpendent of the field Umpires decision . We need an even chance to booth sides not a lawyers brief

DRS or no DRS.That is the big question. Sometimes you do not need DRS to arrive at a decision like in Broads case.It was obvious to all and even to Broad. If he was a gentleman he should have walked and not waited for DRS. The whole thing has left a bad taste in our mouth. Also hot spot technology should be improved to avoid these unfortunate incidents.

Australians please stop blaming Stuart Broad for Not Walking...
remember Steve Bucknor giving not out andrew symonds against India and then he made a big century to draw the test in australia....
that is why they say this game is a great leveler

ASHES TEST OR DRS TEST THE GENTLEMA'S GAME STANDS EXPOSED
by damodaran mohan on Jul 15, 2013 05:12 PM

BCCI must be having the last laugh the way the much hyped Ashes 1st Test will be remembered more for DRS gaffes than for a keen contest of TEST cricketing skills.Ironically both Eng and Aus are the biggest votaries of DRS and look how both sides look unsatisfied and cheated by DRS or its inept handling ! Actually it has to do more with proper handling of the technology as also the Umpires getting used to or accepting "reversals' of their decisions with grace and not making it a prestige issue.In this match what has happened is Umpire Dar seems to have not taken kindly to his “not out” decision of Trott reversed and so seem to have adopted ‘can’t care less’ attitude to Broads' thick edge which the Aussies had to accept with a sense of being cheated. Umpire Dar yet again looked indifferent to Haddin’s faint knick and but for DRS or if only ENG had exhausted their no. of referrals Aus could have almost pulled off an upset win !Moral of the story ? Even TEST cricket and even for the English, Cricket is no more a Gentleman’s game and Umpires should learn to take “reversals “ of their decisions with grace and dignity and not make it a prestige issue the way Umpire Dar seems to have taken it.

Dis-honest review system.
Use of military technology in Sports? obviously for testing purpose.
Only for dis-honest players. If knick the ball, leave the ground. At the same time, if you drop a catch, say I dropped it. Umpires should protest, if they feel any preasure.

Everybody raises concerns when they are at the receiving end..... BCCI was the only one which cried, but still enjoyed the benefits of DRS in the champions trophy.....

Cricket is always Batsman's Game
by suresh on Jul 15, 2013 04:03 PM

I remember one incident between India & England in England. Pietersen was given out by onfield umpire when he nicked to dhoni. Pietersen started walking back to pavilion. But suddenly in big screen replay, they saw and confirmed that ball was not carried to dhoni. Then pietersen started walking back to pitch. Umpires saw the replay and asked 3rd umpire to verify. Decision reversed and they said Not out. Why this double standards? They should have done the same thing in case of Broad. See the reply in big screen and give "Out".
