Out if all the engineering fields
Software is the least developed field .Thats why behind any major break down
there is a software failure.
The recent controversy regarding
Decision Review System are actually the consequences of this fact only. Those
who are favoring DRS had actually shown their faith in technology to reduce the
chances of getting wrong decisions through human error .While the reason the
others are not supporting it including the richest board of Cricket BCCI is ,
they don’t want to increase more complications in the game until the technology
used to correct the human error is hundred percent conclusive.
The concept of DRS was meant to
assist the umpires ,that’s why we are having a limit of how many decisions can
be reviewed by the players. However this logical concept has resulted in many
controversies of wrong decisions , poor umpiring and players making mistakes in
deciding when to take review and when not to. A few years back before the introduction
of DRS , umpiring in Cricket had touched new heights and we had got best of the
decision from best umpire award winners like Simon Taufel , Billy Bowden , Kumar
Dharmasena .But there is alarming drop in the standard of umpiring also ,because
of the pressure created by this Decision Review System.
The solution to this problem is
that all decisions should solely remain in the hands of the umpires. If the
umpires in the middle are not sure about an appeal, they can review it, and the
third umpire will hopefully make the right decision . If the umpires in the
middle make a wrong call , the third umpire can step in. The third umpires
should be able to review it , and change the decision. This will make the
players out of the decision making process and the game will continue to retain
its fairness up to every ones satisfaction.
