Being a cricket fan, I always wanted to know the advancements of technology in the game. The game not only depends on the Players, but also the Umpire. Umpiring decisions may also play a vital role in deciding the fate of the game. If a wrong decision goes against an inform batsmen, it might result in a disaster for a team. Similarly, if a wrong decision is given for a bowler, who finds out that batsmen was clearly out, reduces the confidence level of the bowler. So, to add an additional technology to detect whether the given decision is correct or not DRS(Decision Review System) has been invented. Hawk-eye, hotspot and snickometer are some of the tools which are supporting the DRS system.
Now, let me discuss about the advantages of having DRS. It is always believed that DRS helps in attaining the Fair Decisions. In many games, the wrong decisions have been reviewed and many wickets have been saved and vice versa. It lessens the unnecessary aggression on field. Supposing, if a batsmen is made out via wrong decision, he might become aggressive and might scold umpire. But, if he has the review, he will clearly get to know whether, he is out or not, which reduces him temper and unnecessary aggression. In olden days, it was very difficult to find out whether the decision given by umpire is correct or not, but now-a-days we have technology to use it, so it always better to use it. DRS also checks whether each ball being bold is legal or not. In case, if there is a no-ball that saves batsmen.
On the other hand, it might seem to disrespect the on-field umpire's Decision. In certain cases, it has helped in making correct decisions but it is not fully reliable. Both players and viewers have complained it as not reliable. Whatever may be the case, there is some possibility of error to occur, even in the advancement of technology. One of the important drawbacks of this system is, it is too costly to implement. We need to spend $60000 for each game to implement this system. One more drawback is we have very limited reviews, if those reviews gets over, then there might be a chance of committing errors again, that time we have to go with on-field umpire's decision.
India Vs Australia Border- gavaskar trophy 2007-08 second test was the match which would be remembered all over the world for poor umpiring. That game had maximum number of wrong decisions, which raised the need for such kind of systems. It will always be a benefit to have such advanced systems with the accuracy being improved so that it satisfies all the players,support staffs, organisers, viewers and umpires.
