Sports Cricket ICC Committee review DRS, ODIs format, floodlight Tests
Karachi, May 09, 2011 (PPI): A comprehensive review of the Decision Review System (DRS), format of ODIs and floodlight Tests will be key agenda items of International Cricket Council ICC Cricket Committee which will meet at Lord's in London on May 10-11.
A wide range of other issues, including use of artificial lights in Tests, use of runners in international cricket, other potential changes to cricket's laws and playing conditions will also be discussed at meeting chaired by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd and administered by David Richardson, ICC General Manager - Cricket. It includes representatives of all stakeholders in modern game, including players, coaches, match officials, media, law-makers (MCC) and statisticians.
The committee's remit is to discuss, consult on cricket-playing matters and formulate recommendations to Chief Executives' Committee and ICC Board for approval. The next meetings of those committees are set for Hong Kong during ICC's annual conference week, from 26-30 June.
It will review results of DRS to date and discuss continued application of the system, including its possible use on a permanent basis in ODIs. DRS, introduced in October 2009 following successful trials in series between Sri Lanka & India (August 2008), New Zealand & West Indies (December 2008), West Indies & England (February/March 2009) and South Africa & Australia (Feb/March 2009), has been implemented in 31 Tests. It was also used in 49 ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 matches and in seven ODIs between Australia & England which were played in lead-up to cricket's flagship event.
The committee will debate way forward for day/night Tests and will consider if sufficient progress had been made to recommend trial of floodlit Tests, consider outcomes of research, trials conducted in domestic cricket by Cricket Australia, Pakistan Cricket Board, England & Wales Cricket Board and Marylebone Cricket Club involving use of different colour balls under day/night conditions.
Following successful conclusion of ICC CWC 2011, committee will discuss and decide whether there is a need to recommend any revisions to ODI format. Split innings, powerplay overs, possible use of two new balls per innings and allowing bowlers to bowl more overs than previously permitted will be some of many options that will be discussed and considered.
It will discuss applicability of various laws, playing conditions as relevant to Tests, ODIs & T20Is, in particular Laws 2.1 (use of runners by batsmen ), 42.15 (bowler attempting to run out non-striker) and 37.1 (batsman obstructing the field while running between wickets). It will also review data on results in international cricket, over-rates, run-rates, volume of cricket and bad light.
