So what technology is going to be used in the series against India?

I take it:- Run Outs and Stumpings.

What of the following:- Catches to see if the ball was not grounded or to if it hit the bat, glove or nothing, LBW's - did the ball hit the pad or bat 1st,no balls or did the ball ground in line or hit thr pad in line, etc.. etc..

four:
Unless the ICC admits that the use of Hawkeye hasn't improved the decisions regarding marginal lbws, the situation will not change- BCCI would have no reason to accept the flawed DRS.

Its implementation is too complicated. For lbw e.g, if the umpire is more accurate over 2.5 m; DRS is more accurate under 2.5 m, unless the ball is just clipping the stumps in which case the umpire is more accurate??

Keep it simple - if the ball is predicted to hit the stumps, its out and vice-versa, regardless of original call.

I'm in favour of what ever technology is available.

david Llyod had an excellent point.IF India dont want it. So be it.But England can use if if they want.. Seems India have no respect for the own team...

sportfan:
That is about as dumb as Lloyd can get.

When the technology itself is flawed, why should Indian batsmen agree to decisions made by that and be evicted?

Unless the ICC perfects it, it would be counterproductive to use the UDRS.
BCCI are right in opposing it.

Do you want to tell me why the bbci are not wishing to use the UDRS?
Its simple they are going against the icc and flexing their muscles because most of the money is in Indian cricket IE the IPL.. The icc are worried if Indian domestic cricket steals all the best players in the world in the future and that devalues international cricket..So the weaklings at the icc pander to the Indians..
There is sod all wrong with umpire reveral system. IT as improved correct descicions by an untold ammount.
India are becoming to big for their boots.. As soon as India start to go the world rankings..They will start to push more for the IPL. and cause more unrest.its time the icc TOLD India they are having the urds and everyone else is..Its time the icc grew some balls.

"go down in the rankings^ that should have said..

Typical rex - Know more than David Lloyd as well as being far superior to the rest of us - I wouldnt waste your breath sportfan ....... zzzzzz

sportfan:
It's clear you have a gripe against India simply because they're the ones that have power in the Cricket right now.

You're not looking at it from an objective point of view- what with connecting UDRS with IPL and a host of other issues.

Why don't you discuss the merits of the UDRS before criticizing the BCCI?
The BCCI isn't a perfect organization- it has its faults but all I'm saying is the BCCI is right to oppose the present version of the UDRS.

Imagine letting an unreliable robot for a babysitter or letting an unreliable robot run a ship?
Simply because the UDRS is technology does not mean its good.

As for you, first of all, merely because David Lloyd has been a Test cricketer, coach and commentator, it doesn't mean he knows everything in the world of cricket.

Everyone is human and they are prone to making stupid comments and like I said before- I didn't call David Lloyd completely dumb- I merely said that this specific comment was stupid and that I hoped that he wouldn't make anymore stupid comments.

Stop being such a baby and take harsh comments. Nobody here is going to mollycoddle you or sugarcoat his/her speech to make sure you don't get "offended".

Oh shock horror i have problem with Indians now..Always the case take offencen to deny whats happening.The BCCI are getting to big for their shoes..If England had issues with the referal system and were going to India in the next series..They would go along with it if the home team wished to use the system..So India should respect Englad as we wish to use them at home..OK now look at the merrits of the referal system.. They have improved the right descicions to around 98% ...Less mistakes the better.. thats all that matters...And yes i have Issues with the Indian board they are dictating to the ICC

sportfan:
Indeed you have problems with the Indians since you drag completely irrelevant matters into the issue- like the IPL and BCCI's bullying the ICC etc.

Why would the BCCI, more than any other nation's board, want to oppose the UDRS when India has suffered so often by umpires' bad decisions?
The most famous Sydney Test of 2008 which fast-tracked the arrival of the UDRS is India's horrid memory.

First of all, its not the BCCI taking the decision, but the Indian players who are urging the BCCI to maintain this stand.
They are also not completely against it either. They just do not agree to the presence of Hawkeye, which is merely another predictive tool like the Umpire who predicts the path of the ball.

There is NO PROOF that the Hawkeye is any more accurate at prediction than the umpire in the middle.
Also, without the presence of Hotspot and Snickometer, it's not possible to rule on many contentious decisions. That's why, until the ICC corrects those flaws, this system will not be agreed to be used by the BCCI.

********************************************
.If England had issues with the referal system and were going to India in the next series..They would go along with it if the home team wished to use the system
_______________________________
When the referral system was introduced, every nation was allowed a veto- that is if both teams do not agree to the presence of UDRS, then it MUST NOT BE used in the series.

As long as the veto provision is available, one must not complain when it is used by a nation. ICC HAS NOT made it mandatory in all series- first understand that.

So where is the BCCI wrong to oppose?
The ICC said- "If you have a problem with the system, then please say NO"
Then you cannot fault the BCCI if it does say NO.

I bet Harbajhan wishes he could of referred that last decision - woeful by the umpire

lydney:
When the UDRS is perfect, every Indian player would want to use it.

As for your smug look, its pointless. Whatever the poor decisions India takes, unless the UDRS is perfected, they won't accept it.
