CA and BCCI, explain yourselves

[Jono]

Nah it's absolute crud. Can't stand it.

 

[Sanz]

BCCI obviously would oppose UDRS, because the great SRT doesn't like it, and there is no way, they can go against his will.

That's garbage.

 

[Jono]

We could have used it today Sanz. We'd be well on top if we had it actually.

yeah.. juz gotta understand it is not supposed to be 100% correct. Use it when you know for sure you have been wronged.. Don't use it in doubt or hope. Simple concept.

Possibly true. After all SRT was the first to be given out because of run out technology. By the greatest of them all, Jonty Rhodes IIRC.

 

[taipan1]

Yep this test.

1st Test: South Africa v India at Durban, Nov 13-17, 1992 | Cricket Scorecard | Cricinfo.com

SR Tendulkar becomes the first Test player to be dismissed by TV replay. Square leg Umpire: CJ Mitchley, TV Umpire: KE Liebenberg

 

[G.I.Joe]

It all makes sense now. Tendulkar is opposed to technology because it chose him as its first ever victim. Honestly, some people.

 

[Dissector]

Actually I think it had more to with that India-Sri Lanka series a few years ago. I think the technology worked fine but it was freaky how much it seemed to work against the Indians. For the most part I think it was just luck perhaps combined with a bit more savvy shown by the Lankans. There was only one review decision which I remember was really dubious (IIRC Samarveera in the third test) but that was a human error not the fault of the technology.

But I don't entirely blame the Indians for being reluctant. If a whole bunch of decisions seem to go against you the first time a technology is introduced it's not hard to understand why they would be hostile. It's rather superstitious but it's also human nature.

Oh come on be fair - Taipan is clearly desperate for anything that can be deemed a South African success at the moment bearing in mind their on field performances.

Indeed.

BCCI listens when SRT says something, and if he doesn't like UDRS, then they would take that into consideration. Don't know how that' so odd or hard to gulp!!

Also goes without saying, not implementing UDRS saves BCCI a lot of money, that would be required, to set up the tech toys needed for UDRS....

 

[Top_Cat]

Err, pretty sure John Wright was the first bloke given out via TV replay.

EDIT: In a ODI, where it was first tried before being used in a Test.

It is all there except Hot Spot.. NEO have got it into India.

Jonty Rhodes himself should have been the first one had it not been for one mr. Steve buknor

 

[TT Boy]

Personally despite my initial reservations, I'm now warming up to this whole split innings one day game.
I think it keeps the interest alive in the game, and also ensures that there aren't many drag on moments in the game, but don't see the logic in, CA introducing it during the world cup year.
As for UDRS, I'm all for it, but if the Icc doesn't have the power or resources to implement it through test cricket, then why waste everyone's time.

Dumbest idea ever. Good to read that no one can be bothered to turn up to watch that ****.

 

[andyc]

Totally AWTA. Benchy raised the good point earlier that part of the difficulty in getting new crowds into cricket is that it's difficult to understand, and having the split innings thing certainly doesn't make it any easier.

Plus it's just ****.

It is all part of the cunning plan to turn cricket into baseball. They have already made it easier to hit home runs, introduced a format about the length of a baseball match and relaxed the rules on keeping a straight arm when pitching.
