Michael Vaughan wants a tough DRS stand by ICC - Cricket News Update
Former English captain and opener, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625) to take tough stance over India’s refusal to implement the Decision Review System (DRS).
In the recently concluded ICC’s Chief Executive Committee (CEC) meeting, the governing body came up with various recommendations including the need to implement the controversial DRS in all international matches.
However, Board for Cricket Control in India (BCCI) has expressed its displeasure on the recommendation, while maintaining that the technology is not foolproof, and the decision whether to use or not to use DRS should rests with the respective boards in a
series - http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 has disallowed the use of DRS in all bilateral series
Vaughan however, said that it’s time for the game’s governing body to get firm on the issue. "The BCCI continues to believe that the system is not foolproof, the ICC has to show authority and say to India this is happening, get used to it," the right-handed
batsman said while speaking on a radio show.
The system was first introduced during a New Zealand-Pakistan Test match in 2009, but it could never become a permanent feature in the following years. The system is used to refer the decisions made by the on-field umpires for review with the help of ball
tracking, hotspot cameras and snickometer etc.
Controversially, the ICC left it for boards to decide upon and in addition to that, the cricketing authorities are also responsible to financially arrange for the expensive system, as ICC currently does not pay or arrange the technology for any series.
Recently, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DPMD-Jayawardene-c1397 were unanimous for the use of DRS in Test matches after several umpiring errors during the recently concluded Galle Test.
Vaughan has advised the Indian Board that it’s time it should listen to the world, “It's there to get rid of the blunder. Over time it has proven to be very, very good. India need to get with the real world and get on with it because they're ruining it.”
"They are almost a little bit egotistical and saying 'you can't tell us what to do' and I think it's about time the ICC said 'you've got to listen to us because it's going to happen'," the former Manchester player concluded.
