The Decision Review System (DRS) in the ever-competitive sport of cricket has been the subject of much criticism and debate. This contentious issue was front and centre during Pakistan and South Africa’s enthralling encounter in the Cricket World Cup 2023.

In the 46th over of South Africa’s innings, with one wicket still in play, the drama began to unravel. A vital delivery from Pakistani bowler Haris Rauf hit Tabraiz Shamsi in the pads. The Pakistani team was aiming for a game-changing breakthrough, therefore they argued strongly for a leg before wicket (LBW) call. Umpire Alex Wharf shook his head, however, and the atmosphere on the pitch became tense. Rauf looked devastated, and Mohammad Rizwan pleaded with Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, to go for a review and give his team a chance to win.

The fate of Pakistan’s supporters was in the hands of the third umpire. Despite the fact that the ball tracker showed the ball had pitched outside off, the true dispute sprang from the impact. The ball tracker showed that it was headed straight for the wickets, but the umpire had the final say on whether or not the ball had really made contact with the wickets. Shamsi was spared death because the ruling made by the field umpire was upheld.

South Africa eventually caught up and won by a narrow margin in the next over. Fans of Pakistan’s national team were outraged by this turn of events, and many began to doubt the reliability of the DRS technology.

There was a backlash after the game, mostly from Pakistani supporters, retired cricketers, and others who don’t believe in the use of DRS. They claimed that justice had not been delivered by the DRS and that a technical error had lost Pakistan the game. Prominent former cricketers Misbah-ul-Haq and Wasim Akram expressed their displeasure with the DRS method on ‘A Sports.’ They advocated doing away with the ‘umpire’s call’ feature as well as DRS.

This view was shared by former Indian bowler Harbhajan Singh on his website, ‘X Account.’ Support for changing the DRS system was growing, but first a better understanding of the system was needed.

One must understand the DRS’s foundational ideas to truly appreciate it. In the minds of those who are inexperienced with DRS, the ball genuinely hits the stumps when it is displayed on the ball tracker. The ball tracker does not provide the actual trajectory of the ball, but rather a prediction of its behaviour following impact with the pad.

In-Depth Analysis of Commentator on DRS Cricket Harsha Bhogle explained this idea in a post on the website ‘X.’ He emphasised that the probability of the ball hitting the stumps is very high if more than half of the balls are predicted to do so. For the umpire’s ruling to be overturned, however, more than half the ball must be predicted to strike the stumps. This is the primary determinant of the ‘wickets striking’ point.

In an explanation broadcast on Sky Sports, Nasser Hussain stressed that referring to a judgement as an “umpire’s call” does not always mean that one agrees with that official’s ruling on the pitch. Instead, it reveals the system’s intrinsic flaw. If this mistake margin isn’t taken into account, every ball that hits the pads might potentially be appealed by the bowlers. It is critical that you grasp this error range since it influences the apparent size of the stumps on the tracker.

Nasser further said that users of the DRS must bear in mind the possibility of inaccuracy. This possible inaccuracy may become less noticeable as technology improves. But for now, the DRS system as it now stands is the greatest choice for reducing mistakes on the field.

The DRS is not an instrument of injustice or conspiracy, and it is crucial that cricket fans in Pakistan and throughout the globe understand this. Despite technological efforts, human judgement mistakes made by on-field umpires will always be a part of cricket.
