BCCI disappointed over ICC reprimand for Mahendra Singh Dhoni
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has expressed its anger towards the International Cricket Council after its General Manager Dave Richardson criticised the Indian skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820 for lamenting the Umpire Decision Review System.
Dhoni had criticised the UDRS for being inadequate and an adulteration of technology and human judgement after their ICC World Cup 2011 fixture against England which resulted in a high-scoring tie.
The letter by the BCCI said, “The inadequacy of the UDRS has been exposed in the CWC 2011. The group stage match between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 was a case in point which clearly brought out the inadequacy of the system.”
According to the letter, the ICC in consultation with Hawk Eye, formed playing conditions which specify when the umpire can rely on the system and when he cannot. BCCI thinks that this is a question on the reliability of the system.
Earlier Richardson said that Dhoni would not have criticised the UDRS had he understood the rules.
In response, the BCCI said, “BCCI takes strong objection to Mr David http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Richardson-c85395 criticising the Indian Captain M S Dhoni. Mr Richardson's comment that the Indian captain should know the rule is out of place. The Indian Captain only highlighted the inadequacy
of the system and rightly so. It was there for the world to see.”
The BCCI argued that Richardson was wrong to criticise the Indian skipper and the ICC should make sure that he does not give such statements in the future.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 were irked by the LBW decision of Ian Bell when the UDRS came into play.
A http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364 ball hit Bell in line with the stumps but the on-field umpire, Billy Bowden ruled it not out. Dhoni, quite sure of the dismissal, decided to use the UDRS. Replays suggested that the ball would have gone on to hit the stumps and India felt
they had their man. However, the point of impact of the ball was more than 2.5 metres from the stumps which resulted in the review being turned down.
The rule states that the batsman will be given not out if the point of impact of the ball is more than 2.5 meters from stumps, regardless of the trajectory of the ball. This has been done to eliminate any possible errors by using the technology from more
than that distance.
