Senaka Weeraratna is the Dharmaraja of cricket and the father of DRS Posted on June 6th, 2020 by Varsha Thakur (ETV Colombo) Courtesy ETV Cricket is also known as the Gentleman’s Game. This British game is very popular not only in Britain but also in India and all over South Asia. Umpiring decisions in Cricket have been controversial particularly blatant errors due to their impact in producing a distorted result of the game. There have been a number of efforts to improve the Umpire decision making process from time to time. Finally, the solution to this problem was found by the ICC via the Umpire Decision Review System (UDRS or DRS), which is essentially based on the ‘Player Referral’ concept. It is a technology-based system used in cricket to assist match officials in their decision making. The UDRS or DRS was introduced for the purpose of reviewing controversial decisions made by on-field umpires as to whether the batsman was correctly dismissed or not. Sri Lanka’s Senaka Weeraratna is known as the father of UDRS or DRS. Mr. Weeraratna is a lawyer by profession who has worked in Australia and Sri Lanka. Senaka Weeraratna was the first to suggest a player referral system for cricket in a letter published in the ‘Australian’ national newspaper on 25 March 1997. This facility allows players to request the Third umpire to review the decision of the on-field umpire by making use of slow play back Video footage at his disposal before announcing his decision. The player referral system was first tested in the India vs Sri Lanka Test match in 2008, and was officially launched by the International Cricket Council (ICC) on 24 November 2009 in the Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan at University Oval in Dunedin. It was first used in a One Day International (ODI) match during the January 2011 tour of Australia in England. UDRS or DRS brings the importance of religion(Dharma) and justice to cricket. It is a matter of honor not only for Sri Lanka but for all of Asia and Africa that a person like Senaka Weeraratna, a lawyer from a small developing country, has done the ground work of bringing the spirit of justice in cricket to the core. Since India has been the voice of developing countries on the international stage from time to time and has respected Nelson Mandela and many other persons fighting for freedom and justice, the contribution of a friendly neighboring country i.e. Sri Lanka, to the improvement of the Umpiring decision making process in cricket cannot be ignored by India. A careful analysis of the essence behind Senaka Weeraratna’s UDRS or DRS is the spirit of religion, justice and Satyamev Jayate that constitute the foundation of the civilizational links between India and Sri Lanka since eternity. The time has come for the values of religion, justice and Satyameva Jayate to be spread to all corners of the world and influence the whole of humanity. Modi Government started International Yoga Day all over the world which was extremely successful. Elevating sports and honouring the people associated with ground breaking achievements in sports also signifies successful foreign policy. Therefore honoring Senaka Weeraratna and his contribution to the development of cricket rules, by India, the world’s leading country in cricket, will not only strengthen India’s leadership in world cricket but will further deepen Sri Lanka’s relations with India. Therefore, the Ministry of External Affairs of India needs to take cognizance of this matter immediately so that the Indian High Commissioner in Colombo can be directed to take appropriate and necessary action without delay.

I just remember, the video that went viral about Dhoni's quickness in DRS. There was a lbw which Dhoni reviewed and the decision was reversed. But Dhoni was at non-striker's end, how did he ask for review?
He suggested the striker to take the review and the striker opted for it. Maybe the broadcaster didn't show that but umpires look only for striker's sign for the review
Clipping law for lbw is not fair.third umpire should see how much ball is hitting stumps.if 50percent or more is hitting stumps it should be given out and if less than 50 percent is hitting it should be given not out irrespective of field umpire decision
in today's afg vs indis match, before playing with afg, india's net run was more than 1 but after winning today's match nrr reduce to +.8. How nrr could reduce?
Just watch our video of Net Run Rate calculation. Follow the method and replace India's score and you will understand how. Below is the link. th-cam.com/video/nVX0dHTxKWQ/w-d-xo.html
If u won a match by 100 runs.in next match u won by 50 runs ur net run rate will be reduced. For maintaining net run rate of 1st match u have to win every match by 100 runs Similarly if u lose 1st match by 100 runs and lose next match by 50 runs ur net run rate will be improved.for maintaining the same low run rate of 1st match u have to lose every match by 100 runs

For pitching, there is no umpire's call. Centre of the ball has to lie in wicket zone to consider 'ball has pitched in line'. In Amla's case centre of the ball was outside the line of leg stump and hence given not out
once the ball pitches outside the leg stump,lbw can not be given no matter how much the ball is hitting the stump, even if it hit the middle stump,, it can not be given out Similarly if the impact of ball with pad is outside the stumps it can not be given out no matter how much the ball is hitting the stumps
@@TheCricketDigest Hello, thanks for the response. Sorry, I was wrongly asked. 1. Yuvraj singh caught Ian Bell before the tickets but Bowden gave not out but Yuvraj convinced Dhoni to go for DRS. But Dar the 3rd/4th umpire declared umpires call to stay in place. It happened in ICC CWC 2011 between INDINA and ENGLAND. Match was tied because of this decision. The same thing happened in semi final match between INDIA and AUSTRALIA in ICC CWC 2015. th-cam.com/video/KjgSxpBoIyA/w-d-xo.html Explain those 2 scenarios.
In 2011, accuracy of the DRS was less . Impact distance which is 3m now used to be 2.5 meter before. If the impact was 2.5m from the stumps then it used give umpire's call.

If the center of the ball aligns with edge of wicket zone, then an official offense report should be made against the DRS developer.
Love ur videos, very helpful. Keep up the good job
Really great video. There have been many discussions about this recently in late 2020 and this was really helpful for me. Hope you upload new videos.

Can you explain how amla’s out decision was overturned in sa vs sl match? He was given out and ball was still inside the line by a small margin..
For pitching, there is no umpire's call. Centre of the ball has to lie in wicket zone to consider 'ball has pitched in line'. In Amla's case centre of the ball was outside the line of leg stump and hence given not out
@@TheCricketDigest thank you
once the ball pitches outside the leg stump,lbw can not be given no matter how much the ball is hitting the stump, even if it hit the middle stump,, it can not be given out
Similarly if the impact of ball with pad is outside the stumps it can not be given out no matter how much the ball is hitting the stumps
What is the distance between the wicket and the line / grease where the bastman stands. Please say in cm.
2.6 meter
121.92 cm
@@TheCricketDigest thank you very much!
What is impact over 3m
Impact is where the batsman has been hit on the pad. If this point is more than 3m from the stumps, that will be called as impact over 3m
@@TheCricketDigest thanks
@@TheCricketDigest Then will it always be given umpire's call even if the impact is in the line of stumps??
if the impact is more than 3m from the stumps then even if the impact is in line , umpire's call will be made.

While the striker is batting then why they review with the bat?
Not necessarily review with the bat. They can use their hands as well.
