Any thoughts on these possibilities, or any others you can think of ?
You are asking questions that could also apply to a non UDRS system,

what if a batsmen is not given out to an obvious "out" when on ten and goes on to score a century. its pointess exercise. the importance the UDRS will bring to a game is limit the mistakes/ blunders etc.

lets remove as mmuch doubt as possible... is nt strange that game has an option of doubt... in its basic decision structure.. "when in doubt favour the batsmen"
