The most controversial issue in this world cup has been the 2.5 metres rule of the Umpire Decision Review System(UDRS). Yuvraj Singh is the latest player from the side to put a question mark over the technology, calling it "confusing"."It's a bit confusing. I don't know, don't understand it much," Yuvraj said right after leading India to a five-wicket win over Ireland in their World Cup match here last night.
The guidelines, issued today by ICC to the umpires, stated that even though there may be a distance between the stumps and the point of impact of 2.5 metre or greater, the on-field umpire can reverse the decision even if the ball is hitting any part of the middle stump.
According to the previous rule, the leg-before could be reversed by the on-field umpire only if the ball was hitting the centre of the middle stump.If both the 40cm and 2.5m graphics appear for the same delivery, the batsman will definitely remain not out, as per the guideline.
