Who are the 2 people voting with India? Sri Lanka and Pakistan iirc want it, and I'd imagine South Africa, West Indies, Australia, New Zealand and England want it? Are Zimbabwe and Bangladesh sucking up to the BCCI?

ya india Ban and Zim in same Ship

and all others in another ship

Pakistan and SL though are agreeing on DRS could jump the ship if the SLPL and the President issues are solved.as for SA and WI they have always gone both side a lot of times so could see some twist

even if its 5-5 i think it wont come through :(

Just use the UDRS except the Hawkeye and Hotspot for the time being if all the objections are in relation to that?
Every single broadcaster has slow motion ,so no extra cost and the third umpire has to make calls in any case. Atleast that will eliminate the obvious howlers /Clear mistakes.

BCCI has agreed according to a couple of news channels now if Hotspot and Snickometer are both made mandatory.
It is all set to go through ,and who will foot the expenses is the only sticking point as ICC is agreeing to foot some expenses as Hotspot is expensive.

BCCI finally agrees to DRS

Hong Kong, June 27: The contentious debate surrounding the implementation of the Decision Review System (DRS) has finally been sorted out with the BCCI doing a volte face on its earlier stance against the technology to refer suspect decisions to the third umpire.

After hours of deliberation at the ICC's annual conference at Hong Kong, the Indian board agreed to the DRS's use in bilateral series on the basis of the ICC agreement to a caveat: that the hotspot and snickometre be introduced as well, in order to make the system completely foolproof.

In all probability, the DRS will feature in India's upcoming tour of England, although there is no telling as yet whether the entire system will be in place for the Tests and ODIs to follow.

The final approval and passing of the decision will be made by the ICC's executive board on Tuesday, June 28.

Eyes not spreadsheets
How are they going to speed Snicko up then, seeing as it takes 5 minutes or something to align everything?

Interesting thing coming out that BCCI was most opposed to Hawkeye actually but agreed to Hotspot and Snickometer.

There is a fear that Hawkeye is not accurate and can be tampered with.

Also it seems it may have been used as a trade off for some other issue too.

ICC board meeting
Agreement on DRS after Hot Spot is made mandatory

The ICC's chief executives' committee has unanimously agreed to make a modified version of the Decision Review System (DRS) mandatory in all international matches. The mandatory terms and conditions for the DRS that have now been recommended to the Executive Board for approval on Tuesday will now consist of "thermal imaging" and "sound technology" with the 'ball tracker' having been removed from the ICC's original compulsory list of DRS technologies.

This means that India will, for the first time since 2008, be agreeable to using the DRS in a bilateral series when it tours England from July onwards.

However the DRS used in the England-India series will be without the Hawk-Eye balltracker and therefore not include leg before decisions.

Hot Spot, the 'thermal imaging' technology now available and made mandatory in the DRS, will mostly be made use of for close catches and edges.

UDRS being implemented just as i wanted it to,though would have helped maybe if it was still in place for the clear decisions only and not marginal ones like hitting leg stump or 65% of ball being outside leg etc....

Hawkeye can be pretty dodgy at times and i am fine with it not being made mandatory.

And the fear coming out is that according to it's licensing agreement ,there is not much control over it's implementation and is open to be tampered with by Match Fixers,Host Broadcasters and Technology providers.
And is expensive too.

Though i guess it will be used in a on off basis.

Not using Hawkeye thanks to fear of tampering is nonsense. They always release the data and it's always legit.

Better than nothing, though.

However the DRS used in the England-India series will be without the Hawk-Eye balltracker and therefore not include leg before decisions. "The leg-before decision for that series will be completely that of the on-field umpire," BCCI president Shashank Manohar said.

Hot Spot, the 'thermal imaging' technology now available and made mandatory in the DRS, will mostly be made use of for close catches and edges.

A decision about how the cost of using the DRS technology would be divided will be taken later. Last week, BCCI vice-president Niranjan Shah had said that the cost of using the DRS was as high as $60,000 per match. According to the ICC, however, that figure is close to $5000 per day, with a maximum of $25,000 being spent on DRS per Test.

Don't know about Tampering tbh and i guess only a expert can tell.

But Hawkeye has many times produced weird bowl tracks specially with regards to spin and bounce.
Like showing a ball bouncing above the stumps on a really really low bouncing Banglaore wicket and showing a Googly off the hand turning conventionally etc..
Then there is the 2.5 metre rule etc...

Have had several arguments about this and the common reply is Hawkeye >>>>> someone watching on TV.
Though,Even the commentators and players have many times been left surprised by the tracks it has shown. Once it showed a ball hitting the stumps when it missed or something like that IIRC.

Really have doubts about it's accuracy still specially in relation to when it is making marginal calls,because technology making clangers can lead to all kinds of nonsense.

They will come around to it eventually.

Does this mean LBWs cannot be challenged in the upcoming series?

happy with the news... thick inside edge LBW's won't be there...:)

as for hawk eye i think BCCI wanted to make it self look like didn't give in fully..and as per the article it is for this series only

why can't they use it to check whether the ball pitched in line and was the batsmen hit outside the line or not..the small opposition i have to it is the prediction of the ball movement from the pad to wicket in lbw decision.
