The ICC is keen on having an edge-detection tool - Realtime Snicko, UltraEdge or HotSpot - to go with the existing ball-tracking tool as minimum requirements for DRS. However, that depends on the ICC cricket committee headed by Anil Kumble, and a planned meeting with the member boards in February 2017 to prepare a road map for the use of technology moving forward. For the ICC, the ideal outcome of the meeting will be some sort of agreement to have DRS for every Test no matter where it takes place, with the decided minimum requirements in place.As it stands now, DRS is employed even in those Tests where no edge-detection technology is available whereas India have been playing without DRS even with the required technology available. That India have agreed to use it on a trial basis against England is a step forward, but ICCs general manager of cricket operations Geoff Allardice knows there is some way to go.I look at matches in different parts of the world, and I see the different levels of technology and you see umpires are left without conclusive evidence in one series where in another series they might have conclusive evidence with all tools available, Allardice said. There are some logistical challenges as well about having every type of technology in every match but I think overall we should be striving for a more consistent delivery of technology at all international matches.Ball-tracking is standard in DRS at the moment, and we wont see that changing. I think you certainly need an edge-detection tool as a standard. If you go back to times gone by with the umpires listening to the stump microphone audio and trying to judge whether that was the sound of bat on ball or bat on pad or whatever, it was very difficult to make a decision [for the umpire] and also for the people watching at home to know what the umpire was thinking. And sound-based edge detection systems like Realtime Snicko and UltraEdge have simplified those kinds of decisions.HotSpot is another tool that helps in edge detection, and while Allardice said it has a lot to add to a DRS system, its inclusion posed logistical challenges. Indias home Tests against England, for example, could have had HotSpot but the BCCI was told it would take too long for the equipment to arrive in the country. The cameras used by HotSpot are high-end military cameras, whose shipping needs special permissions from governments.The BCCIs opposition to DRS arose from a perception that it wasnt 100% fool proof. Some other boards do not employ it because of the high cost of equipment. As such there has been pressure on the ICC to assume control of the system itself. Allardice was open to the possibility.If we get the support of members for the ICC to take a greater role in providing consistent technology at every game, we think thats the right way to go forward. If we can map that out to the countries, and they like that, then the plan will be to start putting it in place. he said. Generally in DRS series, we deliver 98 to 99% correct decisions, and what that does is provide a consistency of correct decisions, whether the conditions are difficult for umpiring, or whether the umpire is having a good day or a bad day.There has also been protest against DRS because of the possibility of human error. When asked if the ICC might be interested in training people to operate the various technologies to assuage that concern, Allardice said it was the technology provider who was best placed to understand the nuances of the system and implement it correctly. He did, however, admit there was a need for the ICC to oversee operations.At this stage, I wouldnt see us wanting to be technology providers ourselves, because the expertise and product development work thats taken place over a long period of time, has been conducted by the technology providers. But I think there is a greater role for the ICC in the coordination of technology that goes to each match, and the oversight of the performance at matches.DRSs impact on the umpires is also a point of debate. In the Chittagong Test between England and Bangladesh, eight out of 18 decisions made by Kumar Dharmasena were overturned. Allardice said the number of incorrect calls an umpire makes factors into his assessment by the ICC, but he is judged over a longer term than just one match.Its quite a test for an umpire in those conditions, because you can often be making good umpiring decisions that are later proven to be incorrect, Allardice said. Like getting a glove on a sweep shot that then leads to an lbw being overturned.One of the skills of an umpire at all levels, whether there is DRS or not, is his resilience to mistakes. In the old days, you used to find out when you came off the field whether you had made a mistake or not, and now that feedback is a little bit more immediate. And being able to process feedback about your decisions, and then try to either use it to improve your decision?making, or to not let it affect your decision making, is the thing that determines an elite umpire from the next level down.

Has there ever been first-class cricket at Lords this late in the year? asked Bob Rollins from England For many years the cricket season on the main ground at Lords would finish with the Gillette Cup (later NatWest Trophy) final, which was held on the first Saturday in September. That tradition has slipped a little in recent years, but it turns out that this weeks County Championship match between top-of-the-table Middlesex and second-placed Yorkshire is indeed the latest that top-class cricket has ever been played on the worlds most famous ground. At first I thought the previous-latest first-class action there was a splendid match between Smokers and Non-Smokers in 1884 - it was played on September 15-16 - but ten years after that, in 1894, the game between Gentlemen of the South and Players of the South ran from September 17-19. Two major matches in recent years have been played later than that: in 2010 there was a one-day international between England and Pakistan at Lords on September 20, while in 2013 the Yorkshire Bank 40 final (the successor to the Gillette) took place on September 21. The latest Championship action at Lords before this year was also in 2013, when Middlesexs four-day game against Nottinghamshire finished on September 14.Who has played the most Test matches without ever playing at home? asked Ian Johnston from England A couple of old-time England players lead the way here. The Yorkshire allrounder Willie Bates played 15 Tests on four separate tours of Australia in the 1880s, but never appeared at home. In those days the sides for Englands overseas tours were raised privately, rather than by a central selection committee, while teams for home Tests were usually chosen by representatives of the ground staging the match. Frederick Fane, the Irish-born Essex amateur, played 14 Tests for England - and captained them in five, including three matches of the 1907-08 Ashes - but never played at home. And the Rhodesian allrounder Percy Mansell played 13 Tests in the 1950s, all of them outside South Africa. This excludes several current Pakistan players who have been unable to play at home for security reasons. Azhar Ali has now played 49 Tests but none in Pakistan, and Asad Shafiq 45. They have, however, played several home Tests in the United Arab Emirates.Whos the only man to play more than 100 international matches at the same ground? asked Khalid Zafar from Pakistan The answer here was quite a surprise: there is indeed only one man who has played 100 international matches (in all three formats) on one ground - Mushfiqur Rahim, who has played 105 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. Shakib Al Hasan has played 97 games there, and Tamim Iqbal 93.dddddddddddd Next comes Hamilton Masakadza, with 91 at the Harare Sports Club, where Elton Chigumbura has played 89. The Test record is held by Mahela Jayawardene, who played 27 matches at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo, where Muttiah Muralitharan played 24. Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara both played 23 Tests at Galle. Alastair Cook has played 22 Tests so far at Lords. Wasim Akram leads the way for one-day internationals, with 77 at Sharjah; Mushfiqur has so far had 73 at Mirpur, while Jayawardene and Sanath Jayasuriya both played 71 ODIs at Colombos Premadasa Stadium. Rahim has played 19 Twenty20 internationals at Mirpur, and Umar Akmal 18 in Dubai. Who had the most runs after playing 100 Tests? asked Keshuv Huria from India Top of this list is Brian Lara, who amassed 8916 runs in his first 100 Tests. Its quite close, though - nine others had more than 8000 runs, plus Garry Sobers who scored 8032 in a career of 93 Tests. Second behind Lara is Kumar Sangakkara, with 8651 runs, then come Younis Khan (8640), Rahul Dravid (8553), Matthew Hayden (8508), Virender Sehwag (8487), Sunil Gavaskar (8479), Sachin Tendulkar (8405), Ricky Ponting (8253) and Graeme Smith (8173). Of these Tendulkar had the highest average, with 57.97, just ahead of Dravid (57.79) and Ponting (57.71).I see that Sir Viv Richards has one stumping to his credit in first-class cricket - who was this? asked Jogeshwar from IndiaSir Vivian Richardss only stumping in first-class cricket came quite early in his career, in a festival game at the end of West Indies 1976 tour of England. Playing against T. N. Pearces XI in the last match of the tour at Scarborough, at some point in the second innings Richards relieved Mike Findlay of the gloves, and stumped the Pearces XI No. 8 Martin Vernon off the bowling of slow left-armer Raphick Jumadeen. Im not aware that Viv ever kept wicket in an international match.Did David Warner become the first Australian to score an ODI hundred in Sri Lanka during the recent series? asked Jamie Stewart from Canada Rather surprisingly, David Warners 106 in the last match of the recent series in Pallekele was indeed Australias first century in a one-day international in Sri Lanka - and it was their 40th official ODI there. Australias previous-highest score in Sri Lanka was 94, by Mark Taylor at the P Sara Stadium in Colombo in August 1992, just ahead of Matthew Haydens 93 in Dambulla in 2003-04. Two Aussies have managed 90 not out: Ricky Ponting in Hambantota in August 2011, and George Bailey in the previous match of the recent series in Dambulla.Send in your questions using our feedback form. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
