| SCOOP !!!.. NEW REVIEW SYSTEM UNVEILED BY THE BCCI. The BCCI have recommended its new system be accepted by the ICC in all matches involving India. The T/D UDRS, developed by two of India's top test cricketers, is described as being the most radical and innovative system yet. It claims to satisfy the stringent demands imposed by the BCCI and its players. Using a unique tracking system, all balls delivered by Indian bowlers which strike the pads are predicted to have been hitting middle stump halfway up. All those bowled by the opposition will be shown as either missing the stumps or to have hit the bat first or be a no-ball. Hotspot and snicko are retained in their current form with some small insignificant adjustments; they will be automatically disabled during the India innings and digitally enhanced during the opposition innings. The BCCI feel that with this system in place they can be 100% satisfied that all decisions will be acceptable to themselves and their players |

Makes a mockery of the test standings , all matches should be played under the same rulings. It makes for better watching
and lets be honest, we pay the wages !!! |

| But lets face it Nick, all matches are not played under the same conditions - aside from the vagaries of pitch preparation and certain boards willingness to prepare their grounds according to their sides, there is a big issue with the way ranking are not slanted to account for the different complexities involved. For example, the heat and hunidity make tours to Sri Lanka and India incredibly demanding for non nationals, more so than the minor issues caused by a breeze or a bit of a chill! |

| Tyke we are not talking about conditions, we are talking about rules and judgements, LBW decisions and review decisions have nothing to do with weather conditions. The point is Australia visit UK and use the DRS, however India dont. Same Pitch conditions however different rules of the game ! |

| I think India are the only test playing nation that have refused to use it. I said weeks ago when this first came up that it was ridiculous of the ICC to have introduced something that requires the consent of both teams... To all intents and purposes this has given India the right to dictate part of the playing conditions in any country they visit.. Surely, it should be the home country which has that right... just as it does with the choice of which ball to use and many other things.... But of course we all know the power that India wields in the ICC, so let's not hold our breath for any change coming out of the meeting at the end of this month.. The stupidity of it is, the use of the system once it's in play is voluntary... nobody is forced to use it...so let the other side use it if they wish, and India can just ignore it and accept what the on-field umpires decide. Once they get a few howlers like they did in Australia and Sth Africa... (and the least said about their reactions to those incidents, the better).. they'll soon change their mind and make use of it just they did in the World Cup... |

Did the ECB ever state that the series against a 3rd world country would require the use of the DRS ? (infact demand the use)

Bob im sorry you need to read what you have written, how can it be voluntary when the opposition uses it against you , thats not voluntary. So in fact it cannot be ignored as you say.
India are forced to have it used on them if it is in use. So that argument is silly.
Omega, you are spouting ****e again |

But surely Nick.. if India don't want to make use of it, that is their prerogative, they simply don't ask for a review. ... You're not using it against the opposition..you're asking the on-field umpire to review his decision because you think he's got it wrong. If the result is to overturn an incorrect decision... that's the very thing it is designed to do.. And since I don't recall a single incident where the UDRS has led to an an umpire overturning a correct decsion resulting in an incorrect one, where is the problem in that for the opposition.
Omega... I simply do not understand the question. The UDRS has nothing to with who is playing who... It is a requirement of the iCC that it will be used in all ICC fixtures, subject to the agreement of both teams. That's why it is in use in the Sri Lanka series and wont be in use the India series.

| I agree Bob, but the Inidiansoes decided against it after the money was in the BCCI bank ? Do not start on the Sri Lankans , if they were thought so highly of by the ICC and ECB they would not be made play cricket in April and May in the UK. |

| Nothing to do with the ECB... The matches are arranged by the ICC in their Future Tours Programme. And anyway, you can't blame anyone for the weather.. Any team touring England has to put up with what the climate has to offer... just as England have to put up with the climatic conditions they encounter in other countrise... Luck of the draw and part of the game.. |

| Since the BCCI is so obsessed with everything being perfect that they veto something which isn't ...when do they start vetoing themselves.. |

| I think they agreed to new balls being used from both ends which strikes me as odd. |
