UDRS in ODIs

Should there be a UDRS in ODIs?

Reading Cricinfo last night during the live feed of the Australia - Pakistan ODI at Adelaide Oval, and after some of the shockers that Butt and Kamran Akmal copped, some of the people suggested that the UDRS be adopted in ODIs. I personally see the biggest concern being the time lost for over-rates, and how you would have measures with the UDRS and making sure a team gets their overs in time. Maybe if the system was run like Tests do, but each team only gets one review each, and if you get your one wrong, then too bad too sad.

I voted no because I could just a lot of time being wasted and teams not bowling their overs in time, and nothing will be done to force teams to hurry up.

Do we want to see the WC final being decided by a bad decision when we had not only the technology but the system in place to stop it?

If we're having one in tests, stupid not to have it in ODIs. In keeping with the ethos of Twenty20, in the event of a contested decision in that format the opposing captains will simply have a dick fight mid pitch to entertain the crowds.

Butt was given out ot a poor decision but Akmal was given out to a sound decision.

The West Indies would never lose a review.

eh, I don't think ODI's matter that much, maybe tis all the useless, long series that make me not want to enlongate it anymore. When I think about it in regards to a world cup or a champions trophy, I'm more accepting.
