'Cricket loses out again'
In an interview with Mid Day, Martin Crowe speaks of the DRS impasse, the future of cricket and his decision to return to first-class cricket.
I initiated the creation of UDRS in 2007 while on the MCC World Committee due to my experience in TV. But DRS was always meant to have only one challenge, yet ICC started with three! Hot-Spot is instant and must be used; Snicko isn't ready for instant use and therefore can't be used. Hawkeye is 99.5 per cent accurate. It's all there to utilise, but ICC won't pay, and India won't play. It's quite petty really, and cricket loses out again. We are all tired of the grandstanding.
