Simple answer Bob , all other nations should refuse to play India unless they adopt the norm.
Once their ranking slips due to lack of participation they might (might) even might consider getting in line.
There is an old saying about Indians but it cannot be published on public forums. |

There does appear to be some contradiction in the interpretation of the Regulations regarding the UDRS. On this website:
http://static.icc-cricket.yahoo.net/ugc/documents/DOC_2F720C5CFBDA32A9CDD7799A750491CF_1267593225017_980.pdf
It states quite unequivocally:
quote:
THIRD UMPIRE – DECISION REVIEW SYSTEM
1. General
1.1. The Decision Review System (DRS) will be used in all matches.
This begs the question, why does the ICC permit the two countries' boards to arrive at an agreement on its use ? This is the cause of all the problems.. If that is an ICC playing condition, then that should be the end of the matter. Use it or don't play recognised test matches.
However, here:
http://www.espncricinfo.com/south-africa-v-india-2010/content/current/story/494655.html
it states:
quote:
As per the ICC's regulations, the host country must decide on the use of the UDRS in consultation with the visiting nation. It was in South Africa's power as the host nation to insist on the use of the UDRS, but they did not do so
Therefore since it was CSA's choice not to use it, they only have themselves to blame for the problems that manifested themselves. Maybe they will learn the lesson that pandering to India's whims does not always pay dividends, at least not on the cricket field.
Furthermore, if the latter statement is true, then any host nation should insist on the UDRS. If they don't, then there's no point in complaining afterwards.

I think on my previous link Bob , CSA would rather keep in the good books with the Ingins as they may have more to gain. Bottom line still remains that two 3rd world countries paying for World Spot Number 1.
How the game has expanded to this level is well beyond me. |

What the bloody hell has third world countries got to do with anything. India are the fourth richest country in the world.
If that has any bearing on how a squad of players actually play. |

| As I've posted elsewhere, match results should depend on the skills, or lack of them, of the players not on the mistakes of the officials. That is why I've always been in favour of the UDRS... altho not in it's current form. IMHO opinion leave the decision to refer to the umpires, as was the case in the Stanford T20 competition where it seemed to work well. It also works well enough for decisions that umpires can refer and players cannot challenge e.g. run-out, stumped, catch carrying, out decisions from marginal no-balls , etc. |

They maybe your selected 4th richest country in the world but the mass of the population live in dire poverty.
China are minted and still their population are living well below the rice line.
I suppose it's how one looks on life in general.

| They cannot run a tap in their own country yet all other SO called cricket nations allow them to control the ICC. |

Very rich country , with most of the population loving cricket. Your view is very blinkered.
You are saying because they have poverty, they dont have the right to have a say!!!
Get your country in order before you can have a say..... lol
