1:21 "cricket ain't played on paper" ah you underestimate the potential of a bored teenage mind

As an indian fan, I never understood why india opposed drs coming into effect... Despite being on the receiving end of wrong umpiring in the australia series of 2007-08 (the great Buckner controversy!😝) and also that drs saving tendulkar in the semifinal of 2011 was the turning point for India, I still wondering why bcci were reluctant to use it!

2013 Stuart Broad refused to walk even though he was clearly out but Australia lacked DRS there

I'm just loving this series of videos

4:11 this guy's vocabulary is amazing lmao!

Good debate on DRS. Though this piece of Technology is not completely conclusive but its consistent than the Human Brain

PITCHING IN LINE IMPACT IN LINE WICKETS MAY BE HITTING 😂

Umpires. "Cool, everything's now not out. Someone get me a Pina Colada."

Great system. Keeps improving. Helps make decisions fair when the umpire could get the odd decision wrong.

DRS is the currently the best thing in Cricket . It has redefined the game of cricket.

Technology only betters a game. So many batsmen have overturned a LBW decision because they knew they nicked the ball. And so many bowlers have picked up obvious wickets because of Hawkeye technology. If you want the technology to improve, that's reasonable. But claiming DRS is ineffective because it uses predictions is foolish. That's literally what the umpire is doing as well. Plus, I think abusing the system is difficult when you're only given two chances to review. In fact, I think they should increase the ODI reviews to two as well. Discussion should always, and is, continuing on that front. The real problem these days, the most controversial business in terms of reviewing anything, is the "soft signal". It befuddles me: If you're sending a soft-signal to the third-umpire, you're sending it because you can't tell for certain if it's out or not, but then why give a decision in the first place? If you don't need a soft signal for run-outs, then you don't need one for catches. Let the third-umpire come to the decision independently.

Not even DRS gets it 100% right. Having 1 review per side, per innings, would defiantly slow down the likes of Broad and Watson from abusing the living hell out of it.

The only change i can think of that benefits bowlers in a game that is overwhelmingly run by and for the benefit of batters. Better gloves and less cumbersome batting pads, helmets, drop the rest day in test matches, rope the boundaries to make the ground smaller AND massive improvement in bat performance. Finally something that not only makes the game more fair, but also helps the bowlers get just reward for their efforts. It may not be 100% perfect, but it is so much better, such an excellent improvement.

And even after this DRS and 3 reviews per innings for both the bowling and batting teams, umpiring levels are horrible. Today, in IND vs AUS 2nd test, 2nd innings, India had to forego 4-5 LBW wickets just because of Umpire's Call. Still India managed to dismiss Australia for 200, but it actually was 200 for 15 wickets than just 10. Aussie umpires seem to be a lot lot biased, the Tim Paine's run out was highly controversial too.

DRS is most definitely good for cricket. Why? Does anyone remember the good old days. Hello.... so much controversy, so much dissatisfaction. Yes, there is still room for improvement in the technology. But this is way-way better than what we had before. Sound based Edge Detection Technology could use a little help. Other unintended sounds can get in the way. Infra Red Camera is absolutely spot on. Ball-tracking system is a breath of fresh air. Margin of error is minuscule and negligible. This is far better than what a human eye can detect. Its most effective contribution in cricket is on LBW decisions. Oh, I remember those horrible days in the past. You just simply want to forget those days. On run-outs, stumping and catches it certainly adds more value to accurate decision making. I'm telling you, its a night and day difference from the nightmarish past. Lastly, two things. 1. Run-Outs do not require reviews from players. NO-BALLs should be reviewed in the same exact way. Big-big hole there, still exists. Specially, on waist-height and above-head-height calls. Major emergency required there. 2. ICC should reconsider adding more review options on the game. Why? Think about it. Why should the team dread almost feverishly whether to lose or retain their reviews in the first place. Their prime focus should be concentrated on the game itself and not on officiating matter. To get the 'right decision' should always be the prime objective of the game. And, should not be, to please the umpire's ability or inability. Or, worse case scenario, add to the existing reviews as an add-on like a run-out type third-umpire call by the on-field-umpires themselves. Still, better than having no options whatsoever.

Development after Retirement of Steve Bucknor

DRS still is the greatest innovation in cricket.

The architect of the DRS is a Sri Lankan lawyer named Senaka Weeraratna, who conceived the ‘Player - Referral’ concept, which underlies DRS. He is the only one claiming recognition with supporting evidence with hardly anyone in the world to challenge him on authorship.

It's Better than VAR

I think Bucknor was the main reason India agreed to go with DRS.

The main reason DRS has caused controversy is that cricket is an inaccurate game. It was never meant to be played competitively. Any decision made by the on field umpire was taken as true and 100% correct, even if it wasn't, which is not good if you're playing cricket competitively.

It was Dhoni - Srinivasan combo who was opposed to this, As soon as captaincy shifted and srinivasan's reign collapsed, BCCI started using DRS

All decisions should be made by 3rd umpire and all pitches should be sensors installed which may help the umpire and on ground umpire should be reduced to 1 and only used for on ground problems. And a study should be made by comparing Drs and top umpires.

It's Dhoni Review System, you mistaken bunch of people!

DRS when introduced in the series between India and SL in 2008 didn't have the predictive element to it. The third umpire had to judge the remaining path and that was the first and probably the only time when Hawk eye was not a part of DRS. Later on there were unavailability of hawk eye in some countries and unavailability of snicko and hot spot in others which again added to India's reluctance, then there was a 2.5m rule that if a batsman in 2.5m away from stumps, umpires decision will be upheld and who can forget the team challenging the decision loosing their review if it was an umpire's call. In my view the current system is much better now in its consistency and application and the original introduction had too many flaws in it.

Sorry to say this in 2017 Smith didn't reviewed because he was not eligible anymore because he sneaked for peak from dressing room(umpire not allowed him to review)

the most influential incident in recent cricket era is "india vs bangladesh match wc 2007" ... it changed everything ... t20 would be nothing if india didn't win it back in 2008... hands down...

A.I should... bring it

ICC need to enforce showing building ball tracking live on air since it is not fully automated and subject to manipulation

i think this is the weakest video in this series and i think it didnt do complete justice to this topic

26: India winning at The Gabba

As an Indian fan i definitely wanted DRS from beginning. For fuck sake why is bcci like this. Even now why not try out day night tests.

Ye background music daraavna hai

if they remove umpires call, it will be 100 percent fucking correct decisions

If you give up DRS in my opinion is that you shouldn't have replays . Umpire decision, you can't then spend you time replaying and criticising him un-fair .

Expecting steve smith to be professional 😂😂😂😂

Dhoni Review System.

Full video of Drs no one mentioned father of Drs Steve bunknor

Mark Nicholas should choose one side of the coin.

They should also make a video on 1992 world cup semifianl when south Africa required 22 of 1 ball due to duck worth levis and explain this shitty system

Abit like VAR today😂😂😂

U mean Dhoni review system?

I don’t like hot spot. I find that half the time I can’t see a white spot even when the 3rd umpire does.

Hotspot is wrong most of the times

Cho chweet inconsistent chweeteyaaa

Technology takes away the unpredictability of the game and human error margin. There's a reason why football has been more thrilling than cricket in pre-VAR days. Otherwise there's no need for referees/umpires in game when everything can be done by technology.

But the system of Umpire's call sucks.

Drs came due to Bucknor and dar

Dharmasena Reverse System

Sss

This is why i don't like BCCI and their attitude to continuously try to use their power in resisting to good changes example like DRS and now Olympics.

First 😎

Why all the rolling clips of Harry, Trump and numerous yearly events ? FFS
