India and UDRS

Tweet

Dear All, The BCCI is still against the use of the UDRS. I think it is only India who is going to lose out without the UDRS. If you take a look at the previous test match itself, in the second innings, there were a few dismissals which, were controversial. Suresh Raina was given out caught at leg slip. But there was no evidence of an edge. Harbhajan was given out LBW, but replays showed that the ball was missing the stumps. And when Dhoni was out caught at point of Bishoo, it was actually a no ball. But then the Indians cannot complain, because they have opted out of UDRS. The excuse they say is that, the system is flawed. I believe that the UDRS only improves the decision making in cricket. Of course, it is not perfect. But then, the Umpires too are human. And the Umpires are under so much of pressure, they invariable end up making a few mistakes here and there. The UDRS reudeces this. The ICC should use anything that will reduce mistakes, and UDRS has always reduced mistakes. The BCCI has too much power and money, It is unfair that the BCCI controls decisions like this and not the ICC. I believe that ICC should make UDRS compulsory in all the matches with the Snickometer. I hope that they take this decision sooner than ,later. The UDRS is not flawless and it is okay like that. It will always keep the human element in the game. But it will certainly reduce errors in the game. And that is what the ICC should look for. Share your views... Balu
