It must've been this West Indies tour that got the non-believers fed up. In the second Indian innings, 4 batsmen were given out when they weren't (all in a row; from Kohli no.4 to Dhoni no.7).
Anyway, good news if true. The technology might not be perfect but in instances where there is doubt, you'll stick with the umpiring decisions. DRS is only supposed to filter out the shockers made by umpires and I don't understand why anybody would be against that.
erm not really, when i posted that they had vetoed it.Quote:

And playing well against pub teamers in county cricket is completely different to the international game but i dont expect you to get that.

Bopara dropped :lol:

We will start at 1325, apparently. Well that's excellent news, we're still going to play 50 overs a side too, should there be no further interruptions.
In Tests, the umpires would have an inspection and then have play start an hour later.
ODIs :bow:
6-1
Cook gone

Ollie :haha:

The ultimate :haha:

22 overs in atm
Morgan and Bell are the men in the middle.
Good to see im not the only one who thinks that way of CookQuote:
ALASTAIR COOK begins his career as England's one-day captain today with a blast back at former skipper Mike Atherton.
It shows Cook will be his own man and will not be distracted from his dream of becoming both Test and limited-overs skipper.
On the eve of the opening 50-over clash against Sri Lanka at The Oval, Cook rejected former opener Atherton's claim he should not lead the team.
Atherton, now a Sky Sports pundit, described Cook as a "blocker at the top of the order" and "a bit of a donkey in the field".
Quick as a flash, Cook responded: "I suppose it takes one to know one!"
He said: "Everyone is entitled to an opinion but I have scored a one-day hundred for England and I know I can score runs at the top of the order.
"As an international player, you are always under pressure and always having to prove yourself. I'm no different now.
"My one-day game has evolved. I scored runs quickly in Bangladesh last year so I know I have the talent and skill to do it.
"I don't think one-day cricket will affect my Test batting. You need the skill to be able to change your method and mindset when you move from Test cricket to one-day cricket and back again.
"I'm more experienced and have a better understanding of my game. I'm a more expansive batsman than I was, although I'm nowhere near the finished article."
Cook becomes the THIRD man to lead England in eight days after Test captain Andrew Strauss handed over to Stuart Broad for Saturday's nine-wicket Twenty20 drubbing in Bristol.
But Cook, 26, insists it will not be a problem.
He explained: "We're not sure how it will work but, with the personnel we have, we think it is the best way forward. Myself and Broady are two inexperienced leaders who can learn from Straussy.
"And, with Broady as vice-captain in the one-dayers, he has passed on a lot of information from Saturday."
England players yesterday met injured servicemen on a visit to the MoD's Medical Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court in Surrey.
The row over the Umpire Decision Review System took another farcical twist when the ICC said the system will be mandatory — but without Hawkeye.
It means the ball-tracking technology will not be present for England's series against India, making the third umpire's job more difficult.

A shocking decision for Bresnan there.
Given LBW but the ball was missing leg stump by some way

Laxman - what a fucking icon. Dhoni can go fuck himself. What a stupid shot. A poor score batting first. With the wicket getting better, I think WI will win this game.
Dhoni should be forgiven Syn
Quote:
MS DHONI was mistakenly given out after a TV review by the third umpire.
The Indian skipper was caught by Shivnarine Chanderpaul off the bowling of Fidel Edwards on the opening day of the current Second Test in Barbados.
On-field umpire Ian Gould suspected it was a no-ball and wanted confirmation from upstairs.
But the ICC have today admitted the wrong replay was given to third umpire Gregory Brathwaite, who was instead given pictures of an earlier legitimate delivery.
ICC match referee Chris Broad said: "Having looked into the situation, I am satisfied it was an unfortunate but honest mistake in what is a tense and live environment.
"Seeing as the game has continued, clearly there is no opportunity to reverse the decision. We are forced now put it behind us and move on with the remainder of the match."
