may get a few more initially but they soon stop when the sides lose their appeals. you'd get more lbw's being out, which would balance the game back to the bowlers a bit which cant do any harm imo

Is that what cricket bodies want though ? Aren't they all about batters scoring lots of runs ?

Better still do as India does; stuff Hawkeye until it can offer something nearer 100% certainty.

seems to have been the last few years, if they listen to the fans though theyll realise that a decent balance between bat and ball more important! Almost everyone I know would rather watch a T20 where 140 plays 141-8 rather than 200-3 v 201-2
they do seem to realise they may have gone too far and are reversing some of the odi fielding changes rules to reverse the trend a little

Can never offer anything near 100% certainty.
And India have to use it soon enough

Really?
"Have to use it", are you sure?
Whose is the dominant voice within the ICC?
Personally I cannot see BCCI doing anything it does not want and, in any event, see nothing wrong in the old fashioned method of relying upon the umpires' judgement on all but run out and stumping decisions.
Disagree. Nothing to make them sign up and they are adamant they don't want it
Terrible bowling by England today and some feisty hitting by NZ but at 300+ they are in control of this now. If they can make 450 or so they have a big target to defend and can see them tying the series up especially if the weather doesn't intervene too much

Not sure BMac will wait until 450, fully expect him to want to be bowling tomorrow morning, especially if its as cloudy as forecast. New Zealand been superb today, especially Watling who has to be the best keeper/batsman in test cricket currently, but still plenty to do to close this game out
Of course if an England can get a century maker then it will be close and exciting and with NZ only having four bowlers it puts a huge onus on them to take wickets. It has a way to go but with at least a day and a half to bowl England out then NZ must be favourites

I think England need to do some work on their reviews. BBC live text this afternoon saying that in this series they had used 8 reviews and got every one of them wrong.
EDIT - not sure if this was only fielding reviews or if it included batting reviews.

Already been forced to use it WC and T20 WC and away test series
Soon a video referral system will be in use in every test series played I believe IMO

Not seen anything to confirm that?

theyre not the only ones. the way the system is now working its actually very hard to get a referral right except when youre the batter and hit it when given lbw. sides are gambling with them in the field but losing out to umpires call almost every time, to get a not out over turned it has to be so plumb that its almost always been given out already

I thought it was either snicko or hotspot they didn't use - still had Hawkeye ?
Edit: nope you are right - there was talk of them accepting it use at the end of last year
I know in 2011 they didn't have it.

nope, Indias recent away series (and obv their home ones) have had no DRS at all
edit: its actually Hawkeye they have the biggest issue with as it has a margin of error built in

Yep thats right
Sadly none of the other countries dare tell India what the rules are when they come a visiting, too scared of the recriminations. Quite sad how England/Aus/SA boards have got into bed with them for money reasons and hence allow them to run the game pretty much as they choose these days

Do they use it during ODI or T20 ?
