ORS-Officiating replay system

Umpires

Remember the UDRS-Umpire decision review system ?which was in the news for a while since It wasn’t accurate and the BCCI too was against the system , this was a while back ,and now in 2014 another technology advancement in the game is happening… the game might have ORS-Officiating replay system where there would be instant replay for non-match umpires ,this will allow the umpire to have more control over the replay he sees instead of depending on the replays provided to match umpires by the official broadcaster.This will not only give real-time replays but  other tech tools and total control over camera angles ,the system is intended to eliminate broadcaster bias ,speed up the Drs process and prevent howlers .This will only make the game better since The chosen official to provide the feedback for the ongoing Pak -lanka test ,simon taufel is working independently of the third umpire ,he receives 16 real time feeds from the match and also has a hawkeye engineer to assit him.the third umpire receives replays from the broadcaster in 30-40 seconds while taufel using ORS receives the signal in real time.But will this be accepted by BCCI and others since it will be expensive to adapt and many members  countries and broadcaster may not be willing to pay the extra cost.

End of the cricket era …
23 years ago it was a boy who dreamt of winning the CWC and decide to become a cricketer …
And here today he has lived his dream and God of cricket has retired after it has made followers …and from those followers they have become icon and have had their followers .
Well here we are not taking about creating followers but this batsman had made the game so exciting and interesting with having creating milestones and breaking records …
The other here have come to earn money and only money .
The game has become a business rather than a sport 
Will have to see will the  meaning of sport ,movies,music change after the icon has been lost 
It one of those shocking days where the pressure has cooked this little master to force a retirement before the the captain being sacked ,and without any reason .
We know if we don’t perform the power must be taken away but has not be taken away for the captain 
We also know time changes and it takes time to Adapt 
But why blame the senior for poor performance when the juniors aren’t performing 
Will the captain say cricket is our world now.
There would be enjoying themselves.
Why can’t the retired players like these be given thbcci w
Well there do not have  any retirement do they?

IPL Spot-fixing

sreesanthIPL season 6

the game of  cricket had changed six years ago  completely when the IPL -Indian Primer League was introduced to the fans of cricket with twenty overs to played by each side,more then 8 teams in the league,and play themselves twice once @ home , once away ,it will go on for month and half 45 days and more then 70 games played a season .

Now what this gamed had done was  given an direct opportunity to the young/new talents to play themselves with there icons and with international players this was the best thing to happen in the game to get to face these international experienced players @ an early age .But there were the few player who were not bought for enough @ the auction or the money they actually expected.so what happens when you don’t get what you expected ,you would either work hard ,focus on your weakness and strength or for satisfaction cheat ,so these players cheated their  team for their  own satisfaction is this team work? what are sports  for? aren’t sports for  better team efforts,better understanding of your role in a team.
lets continue we have a player quite well known for his behaviour as a public figure and just a few days a ago he clarified on his previous incidents.I know we aren’t talking exactly about his behaviour we are speaking about the game  which has become a global sport not only popular in the cricket playing nations but non-cricket nations,
there is so much money in the game for all for companies to introduce the products/services ,for celebrities to promote their campaigns,movies .
and suddenly out of no where a news breaks in 3 player caught for spot fixing ,from the same team rajasthan who had won the inaugural season even after been labelled as the underdog now after five  years what was the need for a player who played for the national team ,to get tempted for a spot to be fixed , the other you can understand but again ,why are we getting bribed don’t you people value yourself, the games .
This was surely happening all these years too,also its disappointing to see players running after money so much that their  sports,their game and their life is for sale .
And this game and this format has lost so many fans ,a few die hard fans. But has more followers for the drama that has been going on for the last five years

 

the technology?

yes its still in Progress

[caption ular cricket rules should be followed. talking about the IND VS ENG 27TH FEB 2011 CWC match when bell was given not out by both on field & the 3rd umpire & he knew he was out.the question is should it be used when its fully ready to be a part of the big events with the hotspot the ball touching the bat when both dhoni & umpires dint know what happend. but the bowler zak knew orshould it be used when its half ready?
BCCI argues that the UDRS is not accurate .they should know mistakes are made by everybody . the Umpires also so make them. why the hell are they not interested ? are they worried that people will know why & how they are the richest board . Technology should be used they should not say no.Also dhoni is backing them because is he scared of his captaincy going away coz he is not listening to his owners.

is MSD being too gready?

the captain cool
the captain cool

The most successful captain of the indian cricket team Dhoni under whom we Indians won the 1st T20 CWC ,2011 CWC after nearly 30 years .AND we became the no.1 in test & ODI .THE IPL tournament was won twice in row by this man’s team in 2010&2011 he is also know as game changer & a lucky captain .these were just a few achievements achieved by him so far. well no we hear this young “captain cool”would like to see how his fortune works @ the BOLLYWOOD BOX OFFICE.Time will tell wether this guy is got something else on his mind ! we will have to wait for the big series & tournaments that begin from mid Dec & see wether his performance is improving or he is taking the game too lightly & feel his terms would be followed as a captain.
