i am in very favor of this system. infact i believe the ground umpires should be eliminated completely. i think even Noballs,wide balls shud be checked by TV umpire. I dont know even after having so much advanced techonology,,why we have to accept some bad decisions by ground umpires. ok now give ur views on this system. its advantages and disadvantages. whats ur take on this system???

I do not agree with you. We cannot completly depend on technology. If that is a case then I feel using bowling machines is wise as well and its not far if batting machines are also used. Instead of exiciting game we will be left to see a video game. What do you say?

lol but we cant hurt feelings of crores of people following cricket by giving wrong decisions. we all can see many decisions which are clearly wrong. but still we have to go with umpire's decision. Umpire is no one to change the efforts of a team into vain.

Its all the part of the game and should be taken in the same spirit. Games are just played for the pride of the counties, though it has become a means of earnings for some. So I think people should know about this hard fact and enjoy the game as it is.

Ram, I agree to some extent with new referal system. But presence of ground umpires is a must one for the game. See human error is common, save some bad by steve bucknor. Just because one sardarji has killed indira gandi not all the sardarji's are bad. Even one sardar has given fine reply to lankeys by taking six wickets. Third referal may get you an accruacy of 99 per cent. Even then 1 per cent mistake is possible in that. It's a sports and the players needs to have sportsmandhsip. V need to obey the decisions of the ground umpire. He sees everything at the first sight. If we tend to eliminate the ground umpires, then cricket can also be played through computers, why at the ground. v should not resort to too much of referal system as it will spoil the morale of the game.

Hey Ram, I confirm my comments are not intentional. Balle, Balle, Balle, Peace, Peace. Sastrekal Maharaj, o.k. Now new referal system is technical nature. Time consuming. Too much of referal cases will spoil the tempo of the match. Any how, it has been introduced now, let us wait and see its appraisal. Am eager to know wat dada and laky are going to do 2morow.

hehe,dont get into this,this a seprate issue,m from punjab(from a sardar background). And yes if a stupid hindu lady was responsible for 84 riots,All hindus are not bad.lol,leave it, we want to forget everything. yah ground umpires must be there,,but what i believe is that TV umpire must have the powers to change the decision anytime when he see a wrong decision. Ah sehwag and gambhir are playing gud today. bye. peace

I am not against this new referral system neither I am with it. I think Cricket should use the combination of both Human and Technology. The new system does good to remove the doubt of players on umpire's decision. But if we completely depend on technology there will be waste of time and resources. Even the technology isn't fool proof, I mean hawk eye system can't accurately show where the ball is going to hit.

i m totally against the referrel system.....this can not check the direction of ball better then umpire there r many reasons for it...... bigger issue is position of hackeye camera which is used by 3rd umpire.....this is not as straight as umpire can see......its at very height near 3rd umpire.... so it cant judge properlyyyyyyy........... instead of using technology icc should make any critiria for mistakes of umpires........

Technology has its limit. Even with all the replays, hawk eye,snichometers, infra red sensors and other gizmos available we still can't be sure of some of the close decisions regarding nicks and close to ground catches. We have to understand that technology doesn't have an eye and brain like a human does. A human can apply his brain and analyze if a sound coming is of the bat or pad but its difficult for a machine to do that ( at least now) and relying upon a snichometer to tell us if there was a nick will be stupid. Yes it can assist the umpire but can never replace an umpire. With the new review system the players have the right to challenge the decisions made by the ground umpire and take assistance of technology to get the right decisions. I believe there will be fewer mistakes now regarding caught behind decisions and LBW decisions. Though I must say it has added another dimension to the tactical side of a captain. When to use a review becomes an important decision to be made by the captain. I support the use of technology in sports but machines replacing humans is not the need of the hour at least till the technology develops enough to have the same sensibility as humans.

well i feel that there are good and bad to every thing which is new has a good side and a bad side and that is the case with the new referral system. i thin that it is good for the game to be played in right manner. specially after what happened to us in Australia. but then the bad thing is that it is decreasing the quality of umpires. plus there are others like it slows down the game a lot and that is one big problem. but the most important i feel is the LBW decision. i think it is better than you cannot challenge the LBW decision unless and until there are doubts about a nick or ball landing outside the leg stump. those things are ok, but a camera can never tell you the real thing about the line of the ball if it had not hit the pads which the virtual eye shows. it is just and aid. it is never 100 percent right and so we should not reply on it.

i m totally against the referrel system.there r many reasons for it........ first is hawkeye is not on proper position to judge the direction of ball....its at very height on ground ...........for proper judging of ball it should be on head of umpire.....(lol)

first thing that it is not all about the hawkeye system. Referral system is not all about LBWs. secondly i think they must have been using proper techniques.i mean if height is not proper,then they must have been using some calculations to compensate this height effect.also it is not viewed from one camera i guess.it is viewed from all directions.
