ICC warns http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni-c73820 about UDRS criticism
According to sources, International Cricket Council (ICC) has warned India’s captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, to follow the rules regarding the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS), before challenging the performance of the technology and its use in the ongoing
matches.
Dhoni was issued a warning when he questioned the system after his failed challenge of Ian Bell's leg before wicket (LBW) decision in the match against England, which resulted in a last-ball tie.
The Indian captain, stated, “Adulteration of technology with human thinking is bad. That's why we didn't get that wicket. Hopefully, next time it will be either technology or human intention”.
On the other hand, ICC General Manager (GM), Dave http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Richardson-c85395, condemned Dhoni’s statement and suggested he think before commenting on such issues. He said that one should not comment on something they are not aware of.
There is a set of rules and regulations regarding the decision review system and its implementation. No player is allowed to negate the technology. He also said, “If http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 is made aware of the specifications of these rules, then I am sure that he will
accept the decision that was made”.
The English team was at 163/2 when a ball bowled by Yuvraj Singh hit Ian Bell’s pads and required the use of UDRS. It would have been an LBW but after reviewing the shot, the on-field umpire declared it not out.
UDRS has a mandatory rule that if the batsman is at a distance of 2.5meters form the stumps then he will remain not out, regardless of the trajectory of ball. Even if the third umpire is not convinced with replays, then he would refer back to the on-field
umpire to decide about the shot.
However, if Bell was given LBW then he would not have been able to continue his match altering partnership of 170 runs, with English skipper, Andrew Strauss.
Dhoni is of the view that if Hawkeye proved the ball would go on to hit the stumps and it was still not given out then there is no point of reviewing the shot through the UDRS technology.
Dhoni and his men have always been sceptical of the system ever since it has been put in place. They have constantly been against it in every series they play. However, there is a growing call from analysts and former cricketers that the ICC should implement
this system all over the world at once.
The technology of UDRS was started in 2009 by ICC. It was first used during a Test match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in Dunedin. It was mainly used to avoid complications and controversies regarding decisions of on-field umpires for giving an out or
not out to the batsman.
This system consists of 3D tracking (Hawkeye), slow-motion replays (slow-mo) and infrared imaging (hotspot). It is important to note that the hotspot technology is not part of the UDRS system being used. The umpire decision review system is being used for
the first time in an One Day International (ODI) World Cup.
