Cricket: Umpiring decisions bettered by 7% due to DRS: ICC

The ICC Monday revealed that correct decisions in the ICC Cricket World Cuphave risen from an average of 90.18 per cent to 97.82 per cent - thanks to the use of the Decision Review System (DRS).

ICC General Manager – Cricket, David Richardson said that the DRS was working well at the tournament and added, “it is a fact that the number of decisions in this event is way above the normal average for ODIs. This is because of the type of wickets that prevail in the sub-continent where the bounce is often lower and where there is a greater amount of turn. What it is demonstrating clearly is that the DRS is helping umpires who are maintaining consistently high levels of performance.”
