http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJG-Sammy-c1382 welcomes implementation of URDS – Cricket News Update
West Indies cricket skipper, Darren Sammy, has appreciated the implementation of Umpires Decision Review System (UDRS) in all international games, saying that the review system will reduce the amount of
poor decisions by the match officials.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) chief executive committee (CEC) recently approved a modified version of the Decision Review System with the mandatory elements of Hot Spot and audio-tracking devices.
The biggest opponent of the system, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has also agreed to use DRS during the upcoming series between India and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013, set to be played in July.
Observing the situation, Sammy came out with the support of system and said that the DRS will not only help the umpires but also lessen the number of incorrect decisions.
"My experience is that it minimises errors. It`s a good thing that ICC has brought it into place, it lessens mistakes in a game. I remember against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 we saw a lot of leg before decisions which might
not have been given out otherwise. I don`t know how the technology works but it means less bad decisions," said Sammy.
The Indian players also expressed their delight over the modified DRS, welcoming http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625’s decision to remove ball-tracking system since there were a lot flaws in the technology.
The Men in Blue are currently engaged in playing Test series against West Indies. Although, the tourists’ confident is high after winning the first match convincingly, the Caribbean skipper intimated the
visitors for a tough clash in the second Test, starting from today at Kensington Oval. Meanwhile, he asked his batsmen to display better performance and prove their worth.
The 27-year-old all-rounder shared, "Batsmen have to come to party, bowling hasn`t been our problem. But its` batters who haven`t been scoring runs for the better part of last decade. At times things look
in control of batsmen. Then they suddenly lose it.."
Sammy also admitted that he himself will have to come up with a fine performance with the bat in order to justify his own place in the side.
