Former Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar Wants Review System Used Across The Board

Former India captain Sachin Tendulkar said that India may continue to resist the Decision Review System "but there is a place for technology in cricket as long as it is the same for every leading nation," according to Sam Holden of REUTERS. DRS consists of Hawk-Eye, Hot Spot and the Snickometer "although the use of the last two components varies around the globe." The Int'l Cricket Council said that "the use of the review system is not mandatory and is only used when there is agreement between national boards." The Board of Control for Cricket in India "refuses the use of technology" in its int'l matches, saying the system is not foolproof and is expensive. Tendulkar "supports technology but only if Hot Spot and the Snickometer are used in tandem." Tendulkar: "I don't know right now what BCCI's stance is. From an individual point of view I can definitely say that we can't have bits and pieces in different parts of the world. One part of the world is using Snickometer, the other part of the world is Hot Spot. Somewhere else we are using something else -- it's got to be standardized" (REUTERS, 11/7).
