what do people think about the DSR in cricket

think it should be used for runouts and stumpings !!!!

HATE IT!!!

The emotion of a big appeal, umpires finger going up and following celebrations/commiserations is lost

If they 100% have to have it I would prefer the umpires to be in control of when its used but you can see it now, the umpires wouldn't make a single decision and use it every appeal like they do with runouts

Or what is more well known as DRS.

It goods when it gets rid of terrible decisions, but just takes too long on some line ball decisions.

Agree. I think it is ok when you're watching on tv but when you're at the ground I hate it for the reason you suggested.

I think they have it close to right in its use, but would not allow it to be used for the no-balls. If an umpire misses a close no-ball then so be it.

What it has shown since its inception is the umpires are generally pretty good at getting the decisions right.

its a farce cos the sooks wont use it

to much control to the players... not a fan

Why doesn't the third ump check every wicket straight away. If its not out tell the batsmen before he gets to boundary?

yep, it should be used for every ball, or not at all.

Cant believe how many decisions have been overturned in recent times without conclusive proof that the original decision was wrong. Especially in regards to caught behinds. It's getting beyond a joke. It's pretty simple imo, if the replay, hot spot etc shows an OBVIOUS error has been made, reverse the decision, if no obvious error has been made, play on !. Too many times it seems the decisions are being reversed based on guesswork and inconclusive evidence which is shitting players off more than ever.

scoob knows all about it. You there mate?

well the simple solution is really to adopt the t20 style the wickets lighting up when they are struck

the same technology could be implemented into the edges of bats and into balls

It's one thing to have the stumps light up but i dont think implementing that tecnology into a bat and ball would be that SIMPLE as you suggest.

The trouble with the system atm is that the 3rd umpire is still guessing to a certain degree when overturning decisions. When it takes 3 mins of watching replays over and over, that in it self suggests there is doubt but they still go ahead and over turn decisions based on hunches rather than solid clear cut evidence.

After the two shocking hotspot decisions in the last week I am not so sure about it. For a decision to be overturned there needs to be clear proof, a massive edge not something that is questionable.

I have doubts on how accurate hawkeye is as well.

if something is constantly questioned because of its effectiveness, surely it's not working. scrap it now.

spot on

the issue isn't DRS, the issue is the umpires are making stupid calls with it. Overturning the call against the WI last game was a stuff up by the umpire not the system.

What is everyone's thoughts on DSL's

Hawkeye projects the bounce as if it were a tennis ball....
