Dubai: England and Australia expressed their support for the decision review system (DRS) after the ICC General Manager of cricket Geoff Allardice, met with representatives of the team and the judges of the ICC in Durham, the world body said today.
Allardice describes yesterday's meeting as "very constructive", but with the teams and judges support
your continued use of the hot spot technology in the last two tests of the series, which will be played at Chester-le-Street from tomorrow and the oval August 21.
DRS has led to much controversy during the ashes series. AFP"We recognize that the DRS was not performed effectively in the last three tests, as in the other series. The purpose of my visit was to meet with teams listen to their feedback and to identify potential improvements in the DRS, going forward, "said Allardice.
"It was very encouraging to hear both sides reaffirm their support for the use of DRS. some of the ideas that were suggested during the meetings can improve the system and will be examined further, the ICC," he said.
Allardice said the performance of the hot spot was discussed during the meetings. "The hot spot is advanced technology that helps us define the edges. It is clear-when there is a sign we know the bat hit the ball. In the work with the operator for several years, we know that most of the edges are detected by a hot spot, but there are cases where a fine edge is not picked up, "he said.
"If you do not sign on the hot spot, the judge can use TV replays from different angles for a ball deflected off the bat, and it can listen to the audio from the stump microphone, to determine whether the batsman edged the ball. The perp or the sound of the TV umpire can be used to make his final decision.
Allardice has confirmed that the ICC is committed to improve the performance of DRS. "technology evolves. During the Old Trafford test, we had a trial, where the judge TV replays, access system using multi-channel monitor with its own camera and recording device.
"The goal is to play angles, more faster, so he will be able to make more accurate decisions and minimize delays in the game. Feedback from this process was very positive, and we now need to consider how best to this technology can be used as part of DRS.
"The current scope for the ICC is preparing our TV judge. Over the past 12 months were conducted several simulation activities and our elite group training seminar next month will include several measures aimed at achieving more consistent interpretation of images and sounds for TV judge.
"All these measures are aimed at ensuring the DRS continues to deliver increased number of correct umpiring decisions," said Allardice. Controversial DRS came harsh criticism
during the ashes series, with reports claiming that some batsmen used silicone tape on the edge of their bats to beat the hot spot technology.
