The ICC have announced that the remaining two Investec Ashes Tests will make use of the Hot Spot technology after "very constructive" meetings with both sides and the umpires in Durham.
The ICC's general manager of cricket Geoff Allardice discussed the Decision Review System (DRS) and, while admitting the technology was not without its fault, revealed that England, Australia and the umpires had backed its use for the rest of the series.
He said: "We acknowledge that the DRS has not performed as effectively during the past three Tests as it has in other series. The purpose of my visit was to meet with the teams to listen to their feedback, and to identify potential improvements to DRS moving forward."
"It was very encouraging to hear both teams reiterate their support for the use of DRS. Some of the ideas that were suggested during the meetings could improve the system, and will be considered further by the ICC."
Mr. Allardice confirmed that the performance of Hot Spot was discussed during the meetings.
"Hot Spot is an advanced technology that helps us to detect edges. It is conclusive - when there is a mark we know the bat has hit the ball. In working with the operator over several years, we know that the majority of edges are detected by Hot Spot, but there are occasions when a fine edge isn't picked up.
"If there is no mark on Hot Spot, the TV umpire can use replays from different angles to see whether the ball has deflected off the bat, and he can listen to the sound from the stump-microphone to determine whether the batsman has edged the ball. Either deflection or sound can be used by the TV umpire to make his final judgment."
Mr Allardice reiterated that the ICC was committed to improving the performance of the DRS.
"Technology is evolving. During the Old Trafford Test, we conducted a trial where a TV umpire accessed replays using a multi-channel monitor system with its own operator and recording device.
"The aim was to get more replay angles to the umpire, faster, so he will be able to make more accurate decisions and minimise delays to the game. The feedback from this trial has been very positive, and we now need to consider how this technology could be most effectively used as part of the DRS system.
"An ongoing area of focus for the ICC is the training of our TV umpires. Several simulation activities have been conducted over the past 12 months and our elite panel training seminar next month will include several activities aimed at delivering more consistent interpretations of the images and sounds provided to the TV umpire.
"All these activities are aimed at ensuring the DRS continues to deliver an increase in the number of correct umpiring decisions."

Connecticut Whale 3, Albany Devils 2 By Brian Ring Hartford, CT, February 3, 2012 - The Connecticut Whale defeated the Albany Devils, 3-2, Friday night at the XL Center in Hartford to snap an eleven-game winless streak. Kris Newbury, Jonathan Audy-Marchessault and Wojtek Wolski all scored for the Whale, while Mats Zuccarello and Brendan Bell added two assists apiece. "It's a good feeling in here right now, the guys are happy," said Newbury. "The good news is we get to get right back at it and try to have a good weekend." Albany staked themselves to an early 1-0 lead, as Eric Gelinas' shot from the right point was ripped past Whale goaltender Chad Johnson (20 saves) just 1:39 into the opening period. Stephane Veilleux and Darcy Zajac each assisted on the goal. The Whale would strike back just over a minute later, as Newbury tied the game in his return to the lineup after missing the last two games due to injury. The puck hit off the end boards to the left of Albany goaltender Keith K...

Yes, Big Buff is bringing the cup to Roseau this weekend. There will be a parade down main street followed by Buff taking the cup to the local ice arena where there will be $25 charge to get autographs & to see the cup, proceeds going to Roseau youth hockey. After that The cup will be going to Buff's parents house where they will be having a party for friends & family in their newly built patio thing. After that The cup will be heading out the next day...
No, Neal Broten will not be in attendance. haha
If you're wondering how I know all this, my friend lives up there & he actually built the patio for the party & he's close friends with Byfugliens family & has known Dustin for years. What really sucks is that I actually got invited to the party at Buff's house!!! But I can't make it up there from here in Cali in time.. BOOOOOO!!! I'm bitter... This is actually the second time this has happened.. I also got invited to Laggenbrunner's party years ago to & couldn't make it to that one either.... one of these days I'll get there! haha
If you're willing to make the drive, it will be kinda of cool to see the cup & all that jazz but they're expecting a turnout of several thousand for at least the parade, so if you do make the trek, I wouldn't expect that you'll get all that much time to see Buff or the cup but I could be wrong.. It should still be a cool experience none-the-less.
