Revised Review system makes it World T20 debut​

MIRPUR:After testing the Officials Review System during the Ashes,Sri Lanka-Pakistan series and Australia-South Africa series,the International Cricket Council has introduced it in the ongoing Super 10 stages.A more realistic Decision Review System,this is soley dependent on the on-field umpires and not the team captains,which India had protested as going against the spirit of game.

The ORS doesn't involve reviewing leg before decisions and Hawkeye,which predicts the trajectory of the ball after pitching and impact,will not be there.This was one of the key issues India had objected to.Instead,the ICC in a bid to improve on the DRS,now we have a much advanced ball tracking device which will come in handy for very fine caught behind decisions.

Precise Aids

Now,a third umpire will be provided with eight frames of the ball going past the bat all in one screen,and it will be provided to him much faster than the broadcaster's replay.For every frame of the ball ,the third umpire can see exactly where the bat was and it will help down the parallax to a minimum.

Along with the snicko,umpires can now come to almost precise decisions.The ORS needs a set of very-high end cameras,a technician to put the information together and the software to read the information.The other key factor which makes this system unique is that the ORS is independent of the broadcasters,another area where questions were raised.The broadcasters are generally contracted by the hosts and using their feed for reviewing a decision did not go down well with skeptics.

The system was first tried out in Old Trafford during the third Ashes Test last August.

What is Review System?

The system seeks the help of video replays and tools like the ball tracker,hotspot,pitch mapping etc. to help in decision making.It has been heavily criticised since it made its debut in 2008

Why is India opposing?

"Our objection is to ball tracking.It becomes just a case of someone else's imagination versus the umpire's imagination,"BCCI chief N Srinivasan once said.

Monetary Aspect

The system requires about $60,000 per match

Way out

The ICC is trying to convince A Kumble,chairman of its cricket committee.He is in the working group that is the reviewing the system,and the use of technology.
