DRS Technology from cricket should be scraped

DRS Technology from cricket should be scraped.

Decision Review System Technology (abbreviated as DRS or UDRS), launched by the International cricket council, aims at helping the umpires take clinching evidence whether they have to dismiss the batsman or not.

For

- Using DRS Technology in test matches, the proportion of accurate judgments has increased by 5%
- To meet the expenses of DRS, various cricketing panels can pool their funds and jointly implement the standards
- The controversy that arose in the 1st test match of England – Australia Ashes series cannot be blamed on the technology alone because they were due to human implementation
- There has been a constant improvement seen in the umpiring decisions taken with the help of DRS
- The best application of DRS would be by putting it entirely in the hands of the umpires rather than the players

Against:

- Umpiring errors will be eliminated completely with the introduction of DRS is not a fact
- The small achievement’s that have been made in accurate umpiring do not cover the costs of introduction of such technologies
- Refuting umpiring decision by players and calling for a review destroys the sporting spirit
- Too much scrutiny of an umpires decision leads to undermining the umpires abilities which may lead to increased unintentional mistakes as well
- The DRS Technology will make the umpires lazy and deteriorate their decision taking abilities
- Umpiring standards will wear out with the advent of DRS System

Conclusion:

- Every new technology takes its own time in establishing itself. At the nascent stages of DRS, the decision of completely scrapping the technology would not be a wise decision
- Instead of scrapping the technology completely, we should give it time to mature.
