One of the leading umpires in world cricket, Pakistan's Aleem Dar reflects on his World Cup stint, how the DRS has impacted umpires and why he finds the subcontinent difficult to officiate in. More in an interview with Gautam Sheth in the Daily News and Analysis.
The DRS is not a competition between human ability and technology. It is a way forward for the correction of possible human errors as one single wrong decision can change the whole scenario of the match. So, I would never mind if a player rightly survives with the help of DRS. I am confident that good umpires make very less mistakes in the matches and if slightest possibility of error is also eliminated with the help of technology, it would only add to the grace of the game
