CEO of International Cricket Council Haroon Lorgat lauded Sri Lanka for
producing a cricketing legend. He said, “What a way
to exit from international cricket for Muralitharan! He could not have planned
it better. We were all hoping somebody does not take a wicket at the other end
so that Muralitharan could get his 800th wicket. I congratulate him and Sri Lanka.”
Speaking about the Umpire Decision Review System - it has not
been implemented in the on-going series after opposition from India - Lorgat said, “We are
looking to take it forward. We presently have 92 per cent correct decisions.
With the use of UDRS, this increases to 98 per cent. The ICC is seeking to put
together all the technology available.”
He said the host association and the official broadcaster foot
the bill for the UDRS which includes the expensive hotspot technology.
