AUS is probably go all out getting hotspot and other fancy stuff. But DRS equipment is still pretty expensive. Bangladesh only started using it in 2014 and probably only did so because it had become or was about to become the standard of play for the ICC.

I don't know how many DRS outfits are floating around, but someone is making a lot of money out of it. Is it one company that controls them all, or are they separately owned? Im sure there's some patented technolgy there somewhere as well. Its always good to know who owns them, there's always some kind of mafia hook-up with someone.
They need 6 cameras , a couple with infra red and a couple of sharp microphones. There's at least 3 different versions of Snicko already. I'd bet most of this technology is off the shelf stuff that could be purchased off Amazon and modified slightly.
It's been a long time since this was discussed, but what happened to our broadcasting truck? I recall Bvute- Botswana?? something along those lines.
Bring in two neutral umpires if the DRS is not available or could not be afforded.
Oh Christ, not THEM again!!!
Absolutely, almost every country plays a lot of games these days except for Zimbabwe, who somehow seem to find an excuse to not play.Rajkumar Sharma wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 6:53 amIreland Cricket Board is working swiftly when it comes to fixtures they are playing back to back series nearly in every month.

Zimbabwe instead of waiting for Afghans and others should try to arrange T20 tournament before the qualifiers with the associates which can be a good preparation for them before qualifiers
ZC might be in fear of getting defeated from lower ranked sides like what happened when they played Afghans before they got test status. Irish board on other hand has been very much active to keep their players in international mode no matter what the strengths of the side. At one point they are playing Zim, SA, Afghans and in other point they are playing against USA, OMAN, UAE or NEPALsam_ahm wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 9:35 amAbsolutely, almost every country plays a lot of games these days except for Zimbabwe, who somehow seem to find an excuse to not play.Rajkumar Sharma wrote: ↑Mon Feb 07, 2022 6:53 amIreland Cricket Board is working swiftly when it comes to fixtures they are playing back to back series nearly in every month.

How difficult it must be for the players too. Since October until April, that's 7 months and Zimbabwe senior side would have played just 3 ODIs. That's Complete rubbish.
Are you going to pay for it buddy? These countries have even less money than us! Funnily enough it actually does cost money to fly 20 people to another country, accommodate and feed them for a week or two, and put all the measures in place regarding ICC Regs including ICC ACU provision which is costly, and compulsory when a match involves at least one full member. Players have been seen driving from OH to Chicken Inn during play in their whites. I'm not even joking. You really think ZC are gonna spend several thousands to send our boys to Uganda?!?!
