ICC has published a revised set of guidelines for UDRS, on 2.5m Issue

ICC has published a revised set of guidelines for UDRS, on 2.5m controversial debate. A new guideline says Umpire must consider the length of the ball pitching area and the anticipated impact area. ICC Announced a tweak in the guidelines of UDRS, empower to on-field umpire to reverse not out decision, if it’s analyzed by hawk-eye and shows the ball is suppose to hit stump, even though batsman is 2.5m down to the line from the wicket.

ICC General manager David Richardson said that the correct decision in ICC Cricket world cup 2011 improved 7.7 % of correct decision using UDRS, also it is clarified that there has been no change in UDRS, when a batsman is struck by LBW appeal more than 2.5m from the stumps to improve the correct decision making process more better.

1-When a batsman is originally given NOT OUT by on-filed umpire, and is to review using UDRS by player. If the graphics are displayed and analyzed, when the distance from pitching to hit the pad is less than 40cm and the distance from pad to stumps means ball still to travel 2.5m to hit the stumps, in this case the decision made by on-field umpire will remain same not out.

2-It has also been observed by experts if the distance of pitching and hitting the pad’s distance is more than 3.5m, than also the decision would be not out.

3-If this distance is more than 2.5m and not more than 3.5m; the third umpire will analyze the situation and suggests the on-field umpire to overturn a not out decision.

4-The Third umpire will make an access on the call for UDRS suing hawk-eye from the entire dimension and on basic of analysis he will inform the on-field umpire a exact distance of the pitching of the ball and distance of the impact of it, on-field umpire will make a decision on that.

After MS Dhoni’s public statement on this ICC had imposed a comment on Dhoni’s statement after India Vs England Big fights, where Ian Bell was out accordance to Hawk Eye process where as Billy Bowden stick to his decision even though hawk eye reviewed the call of LBW in favor of Indian team not only that many more objectionable events took place like the Match between India and Ireland where Yuvi asked for review against Cusack and was considered and not overturned. After so many such incidences ICC finally made a move to keep the interest of clean cricket.

ICC general manager Richardson said: "This is not a change in rules as some people have suggested but a broad guideline which we hope will bring a consistency to the decision making.”
