Rohit Sharma has Sachin Tendulkar to thank

Mid-Day.com, Updated: June 13, 2011 10:19 IST


He is more disciplined now. He knows when to defend or attack. Spending quality time with Sachin (Tendulkar) for Mumbai Indians has helped him. He is now a very composed batsman." That's what stand-in India skipper Suresh Raina had to say about Rohit Sharma's knock of 86 in the third ODI on Saturday.

Decision Review System
Consistency the key to DRS - Tendulkar

Sharda Ugra

June 16, 2011

The BCCI's refusal to accept the Decision Review System (DRS) for the forthcoming tour of England is a clear indication that India's stand on the subject has not moved from its team's initial reaction to the referral system in the 2008 series versus Sri Lanka. The system may now have been widely accepted around the world and the technology improved, yet the BCCI has not had any formal meetings with the Indian cricketers about their responses to the DRS in ICC events since their 2008 experience.

Sachin Tendulkar's name is often taken as one of the two Indian players (captain MS Dhoni the other) who is resistant to the referral system and therefore tacitly responsible for the BCCI's continuous refusal of the DRS. On Thursday, Tendulkar reiterated to ESPNcricinfo, "I am not against DRS, but I feel it will be more effective with the support of the Snickometer and Hot Spot technology. This will give more consistent results."



The BCCI's resistance to the DRS is centered around its ball tracker predictor path but in the case of the England series, ignored the availability of Hot Spot as part of the DRS. The thermal imaging cameras providing an extra layer of information about the point of impact to third umpires that can make up for inaccuracies of the predictor path.

BCCI president Shashank Manohar said to ESPNcricinfo, "I have even told the ICC that we have no problem with Hot Spot. Our objection is to ball tracking.... it becomes just a case of someone else's imagination versus the umpire's imagination."

While Tendulkar wanted all available technology to be merged to come closest to 100% accuracy and be of the best use in the DRS, his opinion came close to that of both Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid who expressed support of the referral system, despite the Sri Lanka experience and early technological errors.

In the World Cup, however, Dhoni had called the DRS, the "adulteration" of technology and human decision-making.

More than one player on the Indian team has said in private that the DRS had often benefitted them during the World Cup. Despite Sehwag getting two referrals going against him in the tournament, he told a television reporter that he still supported the system as it had given him the opportunity to ask for reviews of decisions he doubted."

Yet decisions around the DRS and its use depends not on player opinion, but official approval. BCCI officials were due to travel to Australia late last year during the Ashes to study the Virtual Eye technology being used by the official broadcasters Channel 9, but the trip was cancelled. Manohar said a presentation made by the Hawk-Eye to the BCCI in Chennai at the time did not convince the officials of the accuracy of the technology either.

As the BCCI remains adamant about the DRS, its technological base keeps improving. The first pictures of a system called Hot Track were tried out during the Ashes which merged Virtual Eye and Hot Spot, and use the Hot Spot point of impact to give extra information to the predictor path. BBG Sports, the owners of the Hot Spot, now own two new cameras that are being set up to be faster, offering more frames per second, greater clarity and greater flexibility.

Neither Hot Spot nor the Snicko, is part of the ICC's list of minimum technology requirements for the DRS. The question of whether there will be changes in the referral requirements or if the DRS should be made mandatory across all series, however, is dependent once again on the ICC's annual meeting in Hong Kong at the end of this month.

Now, that's a sensible stand. And BCCI is merely backing that stand. AnA nInga ingE pOduvInga. BCCI-ku mattum mudhugula moththu. En AF? En BCCI mEla avLO veRuppu? neraiya vishayathula they can be questioned but En indha blind veRi against BCCI like English and Aussie folks?

Infact, BCCI is being far more sensible than ECB/ACB when they were ruling. We have to see the big picture. Yes, they give preference to India's self-interest. Why shouldnr they? Look at the English argument - UDRS benefits Swann so BCCI, in its self interest, is preventing UDRS. pinnE EnglandOda self-interestkAga UDRS-ai support paNNuvAngaLA? nInga powerla irukkaRachE unga self interest-ai pAthukittInga. ippO nanga irukkaRachEvum unga self-interest-ai dhAn pAkkaNumna epdi machAns?

BCCI's stand that they won't have UDRS blocks other countries from using it when they play against India. While half of the blame is for ICC to take in this issue I for one have never liked this policy similar to America in World affairs. And this is just one of the reasons.

The clap is mainly for Tendulkar for finally opening his mouth and expressing his stand on the issue.

Now, that's a sensible stand. And BCCI is merely backing that stand. AnA nInga ingE pOduvInga. BCCI-ku mattum mudhugula moththu. En AF? En BCCI mEla avLO veRuppu? neraiya vishayathula they can be questioned but En indha blind veRi against BCCI like English and Aussie folks?
