Question

how technology to spread out the cricket

Answer 1

Errors by Umpires on a cricket field were common. It was considered to a part of the game in a way. The ICC has been pretty cautious not to bombard all the new technologies at one time into the game. Not too many changes can be made to the game at one go.

So it all began with the Decision Review System (DRS), introduced during the Sri Lanka-India Test series in 2008. There was a limit of 3 reviews given per team for each innings of the match. Since then the use of technology has evolved the game and the introduction of new gadgets have only added to the decision-making process in the sport.

Some of the changes may be considered necessary, given the high number of errors occurring in the game. But are all the introductions only led to the betterment of the sport? There have been innumerable number of controversies pertaining to the use of technology in cricket. Controversies surrounding the 2.5m rule in LBW’s during the World Cup, the indication by hot spot in some of the caught behind decisions, etc. It can be safely said that technology, no matter how accurate it may be, cannot be considered as a substitute to the on-field umpire.

There has been some confusion regarding the role of technology in cricket
