***Official*** DRS discussion thread

[biased indian]

No I would seriously like for him to go around the various boards and tell them to refuse an Indian tour. See what happens. Please record the reply.

the thing is that if ICC ban india/BCCI..they will be more than happy ..becuase now they will be in position to have an IPL with 20 teams and running for 10 months of the year. all other countries will have 2 months to fill in there all test ODI and T20..if they need any world class players involved in it

 

[biased indian]

If BCCI change their mind and adopt it, their anti-UDRS stance will soon be forgotten.

Even if its in Ind vs Aus series onwards

 

[GIMH]

Oh don't get me wrong, when they change their mind, the teams they played just before will likely be pissed off.

But it will go away.

 

[biased indian]

ok so it will be WI ....we have a series against them in between rt ?

Oh look what the quote-unquote on cricinfo today is...

"If the correct decisions were made, the game would have finished much earlier and I would have been in the hotel by now"
MS Dhoni comments on the umpiring at Kingston during the post-match press conference

Has anyone told him that there is a solution to this problem?

BCCI said no to urds, so he cant do anything tbf.

You really would avoid making those comments if you were the India captain, wouldn't you? Smacks of an obnoxious, ignorant wanker, quite frankly.

If I was one of the Umpires I'd come out and tell him where to stick it, too.

He should be fined 50% of his match fee for those comments. Prick. That's really wound me up.

Never liked Dhoni tbh.

It's obviously a stupid sentiment, but it's not an overreaction. I don't get why people don't see how damaging it is for one nation to refuse and alter the playing conditions to this extent. Such a harmful precedent to set even if you don't think UDRS is a big deal.

 

[biased indian]

see it will take one bad series for India umpiring decision wise for BCCI to agree on UDRS..i am simply hoping it is not the series against england

It's a massive overreaction, just like yours to Dhoni's comments.

 

[centurymaker]

If any team who are going to benefit from not having urds in this series they're england as they are playing at home!!

BCCI should really reconsider their decision

 

[marc71178]

The point is that Umpires are more likely to give 50/50 LBW decisions when they know that urds is in place.

Since you didn't answer my question as to what you base the first statement on, I'll repost that one along with asking what you base your second statement on.

Very very unlike Dhoni those quotes. He does not make those type of comments even after a loss ,so don't know why would he do that after a win?

Would really like to know the context of those quotes and what followed or preceeded it .For all we know could have been said jokingly to something as the match finished pretty early.
Also don't remember any really wrong decisions that would have finished the match early in their second innings.
Weird quotes and no reason to overreact tbh.

 

[Cevno]

Since you didn't answer my question as to what you base the first statement on, I'll repost that one along with asking what you base your second statement on.

I guess on the general perception that neutral umpires favor the home team ,even if ever so slightly more than the away team.
I guess in terms of probablitly it works out that way but can't be said to be something which is constant.

 

[GIMH]

Oh right. Because you say it is. That's your reason why these things are overreactions huh.

****, you think everything is an overreaction and nothing matters. Let's all stay calm and remove the passion out of everything hey?

Give me a ****ing break.

No UDRS in itself is a travesty, but it also sets a damaging precedent. You wouldn't see this of course, because you think people getting upset by BCCI is...yep, an overreaction

And Dhoni's comments? disgrace mate. That's not an overreaction. It's his ****y team and board that won't let us use UDRS and then he comes out and whinges about umpiring? What a ****ing joke! You can **** off calling that an overreaction from me, because that's how I feel, and if you can't see why then you're ****ing ******** and incapable of empathy.

And I guess you'll consider this post an overreaction too.

Perception and there's some logic to it I guess.


When the urds is being used, umpires know that if they happen to give the batsman out LBW incorrectly, he'll just review it (batsman tend to review any decision that is close), so the umpires are more willing to give 50/50 lbws (for example, more than half the ball hitting the leg stump- without technology an umpire will probably just give the batsman benefit of the doubt).

You might be thinking why they would risk giving a batsman out incorrectly even when the urds is in place. Well, if the ball's hitting the leg-stump and the umpire gives it not-out, it's still an incorrect decision. They'll still get criticized for making a wrong decision and being conserative with their decision.

England should oppose the use of covered wickets for the series. If both teams can't agree to them, then we obviously can't have them. We won't tell India until they've already picked their touring squad though, because it doesn't really matter that much - no need to over-react and make a big deal out of it. Of course, if England get rolled for a low score on a sticky wicket, Strauss will remain completely within his rights to whinge about the state of the pitch to the media.

When Zimbabwe play India (or anyone other than Bangladesh, for that matter), I think they should oppose the use of seam-up bowling. And batsmen with Test averages over 30.

Are you giving a example of overreaction?
