DRS
The Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS or DRS) is a technology-based system used in
cricket to assist the match officials with their decision-making.
On-field umpires may choose to consult with the third umpire (known as an Umpire Review),
and players may request that the third umpire consider a decision of the on-field umpires
(known as a Player Review).
Hawk Eye
Hawk-Eye is a computer system used in cricket to visually track the trajectory of the ball and
display a profile of its statistically most likely path as a moving image.
The onscreen representation of the trajectory results is called Shot Spot.
Components
Hawk Eye
Ultra Edge
HOT spot
Method of Operation
Triangulation using Visual Images
60 cameras
180 deg
Criteria
Where the ball pitched
The location of impact with the leg of the batsman
The projected path of the ball past the batsman
Hot Spot
Hot Spot is an infrared imaging system used in cricket to determine whether the ball has
struck the batsman, bat or pad.
Mechanism
Hot Spot uses two infra-red cameras positioned at either end of the ground.
These cameras sense and measure heat from friction generated by a collision, such as ball
on pad, ball on bat, ball on ground or ball on glove.
The stump microphone picks up the live sound, filters it and relays it to an oscilloscope
attached to it, which then traces the relevant sound waves. In the meantime, cameras
record the visual and replay it in slow motion
After DRS
26% of Player Reviews resulted in on-field decisions being overturned.
Reviews by batsmen were less frequent than reviews by bowling teams, as 41% of reviews
were by batsmen and 59% by bowling teams.
Reviews by batsmen were more likely to be successful, with a 34% success rate, compared to
a success rate of about 20% for bowling teams.
74% of referrals were for LBW, 18% for wicketkeeper catches, and the rest for catches
elsewhere or indeterminate reason. The success rate was only 22% for LBW, compared to 40%
for wicketkeeper catches.
There were on average about 1.4 batting overturns and 1.2 bowling overturns per match.
Initial fears that DRS would bring an increase in the number of dismissals have, therefore, not
come true.
