Angad. Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Remove drs and improve umpire standards . Simon taufel, Aleem dar were once error free and accurate .miss Simon Simon Taufel was phenomenal. He even got the closest of calls right most of the time. DRS is just lowering umpire standards. Why not put a robot there instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

younussm Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 Yeah and when u have 2-3 howlers in match then say why are they not using technologyhowlers were there but not in every match .As far as I remember the umpiring standard was a lot better before the introduction of drs and now it has become very sluggish .Ab toh umpires aise ho gaye hai chal Bhai Jo mann mei aaya woh decision dedinge,unke pass drs hai woh use karlega.

Angad. Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I think to be fair....more than the DRS its the umpiring that has been 'horrible' in this series. Cant really directly blame DRS (maybe indirectly) when actually its the personnel that have been the major problem. Worse umpiring ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason why they are not going for DRS is that india have a spin heavy attack, which means less chances of lbw. Dont for a moment think that BCCI is doing it for good of cricket.

Bcci also says that There is no match fixing in IPL, meyappan srini and others are Saint. They are just covering up. Aim of technology is to reduce mistakes not eliminate them.

Nemo Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Agree with Godspeed. Drs is not the culprit and removing it will be a regressive step. Bcci didnt oppose drs because they scrutinized its alleged faults, quite the opposite. They could not or didn't want to understand it post Lanka series and branded drs as witch craft. Bcci did its r**di rona (threw petulant fit) because all the decisions there went against India. If the situation was reversed then bcci would have provided employment to a big number of jobless computer science btech/be graduates (of which we have many) as it would have single handedly championed the use of drs everywhere, even in gully cricket. Citing bcci's favorable stand on a viewpoint is a foolish premise for one to base a claim on. I hope everyone here knows that back when idea of t20 matches being played in mainstream was put forward, with a World cup being proposed, bcci strongly opposed it, crying tradition, but mostly because they are very resistant to any kind of change. All other boards except bcci voted for a t20 wc, and so it happened. A young, talented, gutsy and lucky Indian team won the inaugural cup and bcci suddenly woke up to the credibility (ie: money spinning opportunity) of t20 and IPL was formed the very next year, with little push from Subhash Chandra and his audacious bollocks. Drs can and should be improved. I suppose one could do away with reviewing lbws for now, till better tracking tech is developed. But for edges and stuff it should be used, put a special set of equipment specially for picking up spots and noise from bat, instead of making regular camera do it in replays. Also one has to realize that even behind the drs there is a human person pushing buttons, making a decision. _ Edited August 12, 2013 by Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) damn he is toying with them like it is club cricket, and this is happening in SA. Good to see Pujara also getting some form. Our bowling remains like headless chicken though. Nov can't come soon enough. Not a typical SA wicket. Too flat. Durban and Jo'burg won't be the same. Still takes nothing away from Dhawan. But the main tour will be a different kettle of fish Lol...in that game against South Africa A, they scored 394 as well. The match turned out to be closer than what I thought it would be well played Dhawan we cant blame our bowlers solely though. the ground they are playing on is supposedly a very high scoring one which a local had said on cricinfo even before the tourney began (as it has now been proven with nearly 400+ scores in both innings) it seems SA board is doing to us what ECB did in 2011 & then we in turn did to Eng in 2012 ie give us pitches in the practice games which will be different from what we'll get in test matches i hope the pitches for the 4 day games are more challenging otherwise this exercise will have been pointless or worse give us a wrong picture The only reason why they are not going for DRS is that india have a spin heavy attack, which means less chances of lbw. Dont for a moment think that BCCI is doing it for good of cricket. actually i think DRS helps spinners the most as batsman are not able to then just play with the pad. for eg Eng batsmen on india tour were coming down the wicket & then padding away which they wouldnt be able to do with DRS as that may show as hitting the stumps, so they would have remained in crease and/or been forced to play both of which increase chance of dimissal Agree with Godspeed.

Also one has to realize that even behind the drs there is a human person pushing buttons, making a decision. _ it's the player/s who are opposing & BCCI is only supporting them so to just solely blame BCCI (in this matter) is unfair. also there is already special set of equipment in place for DRS. it is not the regular cameras that do that i think they should have DRS which is just slow-mo & audio & it should be in hand of umpires so they can review all decisions they arent 100% sure of like they do now with runouts Edited August 13, 2013 by filmguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumanth_Champion Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 i think they should have DRS which is just slow-mo & audio & it should be in hand of umpires so they can review all decisions they arent 100% sure of like they do now with runouts that would be opening another can of worms and could end up really bad. umpires either end up reviewing almost everything and slowing up the game like sh*t. Bowling team just needs to appeal to break momentum of the batting team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted August 13, 2013 Report Share Posted August 13, 2013 (edited) Problem is changed thinking of umpires. They are giving out to marginal decisions and batsman are suffering. Benefit of doubt must go to batsman. Also that Umpire's call thing should be changed to doubt and can overturn the decision. And Dhawan is awesome. But the pitches are too flat thus making this tour useless. Edited August 13, 2013 by Rock Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
