ICC will send a delegation to convince BCCI over DRS - Cricket News Update
International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to send its representative to India in an effort to convince the Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) over implementation of the Decision Review System (DRS).
The delegation will show the results of a research carried out by Cambridge University expert Dr http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Board Member’s meeting last month where the review system was vetoed by
the BCCI.
"ICC had got some independent research done on the accuracy and all those issues. Now unfortunately they didn't present that information to the board," Edwards said.
During the June meeting in Kuala Lumpur, the ICC Chief Executives Committee (CEC) expressed its satisfaction over the progress made by the British expert. Dr Rosten had improved the reliability and accuracy of the ball-tracking and HotSpot cameras which
are the two key parts of the DRS technology.
After the findings, the CEC announced the recommendation for making DRS mandatory, a move that irked the Indian board, who publicly opposed the suggestion by the ICC Committee. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 maintains its position over the review system and terms it inaccurate,
while demanding 100% accuracy.
For now, Cricket http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Walter-John-Edwards-c96055 said that had the research along with the details been presented in the meeting, it would have reduced the chances of opposition from the Asian powerhouse.
BCCI has agreed to review the results and the CA chairman thinks that the details they will take to India could make them reconsider their decision given the progress that has been made in the technology.
"India are willing to look at it, but they're sceptical, and others are too - it's not just India. I think it is part of the game for the future, but it's a good time to review, “Edwards said.
For now the CA chief is hopeful that Indian stance might finally offer some flexibility. "It looks accurate, but from their point of view, they are reluctant just to accept it as gospel. I think it is possible they'll change, but we'll have to wait and see
how they go with this new information in India," he concluded.
