Alan Issac backs BCCI's stance over DRS - Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Alan-Raymond-Isaac-c42771, the vice president of International Cricket Council, has backed the Board of Cricket for Control in India’s stance over the controversial Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS).
Isaac, the 59-year-old New Zealander, said in an interview that the BCCI and its players should not be blamed for their reluctance to use technology in India’s cricket matches as he himself feels the system still needs a lot of improvements. The ICC VP said
that the review system should not be implemented unless it is absolutely fool proof.
“Around the DRS, for example, the media have tended to give [India] the blame as to why the DRS is not being implemented,” said Isaac. “But it's not only them. I personally am not convinced the technology works well enough, so we've got to do something about
that…on the DRS I actually think they are right," the ICC vice-president stressed.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has been opposing the use of Decision Review System in its matches since the inception of the system in 2009 and despite ICC’s calls for using technology in all major One-Day and Test matches, the BCCI has been adamant
that they would not implement the review system in its bilateral series.
Pawar’s successor played down the tag of “Big Brother” commonly attached with the BCCI for its huge influence on the international cricket decisions. He said that the Indian cricket board is a very decent outfit to work with.
"Often when [India] hold a view, they are right, but various parts of the media have a different view,” said the New Zealander, “whether you're http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750] are hard to deal with and B, they control
world cricket. But in fact they are good to work with,” he added further.
Isaac, who is currently a member of the New Zealand Golf Board, is the joint nomination of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sharadchandra-Govindrao-Pawar-c89751 of India’s term ends in 2012.
