DRS comes in debate

This would be worthless to say that Cricket is getting modern and sophisticated.Sometimes it kills even the spirit of the game.This is the hard truth.India-Australia series started with the Boxing day test and the dismissal of Mike Hussey once again dragged the usage of DRS as the issue of debate.BCCI the governing body of cricket in India is firm not to go with this technology where other countries are backing this technology.



Who Backs It:

Take an example debutant Australian Opener Ed Cowan appealed to the International Cricket Council (ICC) for mandatory use of the controversial Decision Review System (DRS) following two dubious umpiring decisions during the opening day of the Boxing Day Test against India.As we know that BCCI is such a powerful name in cricket which puts pressure on ICC and ICC has to go with it.If this technology is in controversy why the need of it.Former Team India coach Greg Chappell also backed Australian opener Ed Cowan's call for having compulsory DRS in all international matches, saying it will reduce the pressure on umpires and reduce the howlers.

BCCI Stands Firm:

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) refused to use DRS in the high-profile series, maintaining its earlier stand that the technology is not full-proof. The DRS could only be implemented if the cricket boards agree for it in a bilateral series.

The Reason Of Debate:

The decision against Hussey in the 65th over seemed a bit harsh. South African umpire Marais Erasmus raised his finger at India’s caught behind appeal off Zaheer Khan, who had bowled Australian captain Michael Clarke (31) the previous ball. Replays, however, indicated the out-of-form batsman did not nick the rising delivery.

What would be the solution:

Cricket and controversy go at the same pitch.Technology is something which sometimes en-thrill players and sometimes make cricketers hapless.There are worthy reasons for the debate.It should be but at this moment we can't jump on conclusion that this should be done mandatory.If you are not the victim.Hussey must be disappointed and may be this dismissal may mar his test career with his golden duck.Indians have the reasons to smile but the question raises that what if it falls against Indian team.
