Despite winning the 2011 World Cup and the 2013 Champions Trophy with DRS in place, India had resisted using the system in bilateral series. On Wednesday the ICC general manager Geoff Allardice and a representative from Hawk-Eye, the ball-tracking technology provider, met top BCCI officials along with India coach Anil Kumble in Delhi.Allardice focused on the independent assessment of the technologies used in the DRS, which was carried out by engineers from the field-intelligence unit at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT]. The Hawk-Eye presentation explained how ball-tracking technology has been enhanced over the last couple of years.The upshot of the meeting was that two days later India agreed to use the DRS on a trial basis during the Test series against England. Heres an explainer of what their concerns were and how they were allayed.Why did the BCCI not want the DRS? The main reason was a mistrust of the ball-tracking technology used to adjudge lbws. The BCCI said the predicted path after the ball hit the pad was not reliable.How does ball-tracking work? Three elements go into an lbw decision: where the ball pitched, the point of impact on the pad, and the predicted path towards the stumps. The accuracy of the predicted path of the ball depends on the number of images captured - the frame-rate - between the ball pitching and hitting the pad.What is the most significant change in the technology? Cameras with a higher frame rate, and the ability to locate the point of impact on the pad more accurately. How fast are the frame rates now? During the 2011 World Cup, the frame rate of Hawk-Eyes cameras was 50 to 75 frames per second. Hawk-Eyes ultra-motion cameras recorded images at a faster rate in 2013, and their current ball-tracking cameras record images at 340 frames per second.How will a higher frame rate help?It provides a lot more data and hence the calculation of the predicted path of the ball is more accurate. The increased frame rate has allowed the accuracy of the prediction to tighten up significantly, an official privy to Wednesdays presentation said. It means between the ball pitching and the ball hitting the pad there is more information available to go into building a prediction. That was something reinforced by the recent testing of the accuracy of a prediction, when compared to the accuracy of a ball that has not been intercepted.Why did the BCCI have an issue with the location of the point of impact? When judging the point where the ball hits the pad, a key factor is to make sure the ball has not changed path. The BCCI had said there was potential for operator error while identifying the point of impact.How was that issue solved? Hawk-Eye created Ultra Edge to remove that problem. Ultra Edge is a sound based, edge-detection system can identify the point of impact more accurately. When there is a sound of ball hitting pad or bat, it can identify the frame in which the ball hits the pad.What if the operator misses the ball? How will they locate point of impact? Hawk-Eye has added another safeguard to its system: data from every delivery is recorded and can be retrieved in case its needed to build a predicted path of the delivery.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher has been happy with his defenses progress over the past month, but a true indication of how much improvement the unit has made could come Saturday at Syracuse.The 17th-ranked Seminoles (7-3, 4-3 ACC) have struggled against teams that run up-tempo offenses. The Orange (4-6, 1-5) come until the game averaging 79.3 offensive plays per game under first-year coach Dino Babers, which is an average of 16 more plays per game than last year. They also average one snap every 21.4 seconds on offense.FSU has already faced three teams -- Ole Miss (16.3 seconds). South Florida (21.1 seconds) and North Carolina (21.5 seconds) -- that averaged a snap in under 22 seconds. The Seminoles are 2-1 in those games but fell behind in all three. Miami also went up tempo at times as it built a double-digit lead only to see FSU rally to win in the fourth quarter. In all four games, communication problems and missed assignments were common.Even with quarterback Eric Dungey out in last weeks loss to North Carolina State, the Orange still averaged one snap every 21.2 seconds. Dungey (shoulder/head) is doubtful for Saturdays game which means Zach Mahoney could get the start again.They still threw it for a bunch of yards and moved it up and down the field. Theyre still going to do what they do, Fisher said. Theyve got skilled receivers and backs and big guys. They do a good job.Linebacker Matthew Thomas, who is second on the team in tackles with 50, said that getting the call in from the sideline quickly to line up will be a big key this week. Starting with the Oct. 1 game against North Carolina, the Seminoles have used play cards on the sideline when facing up-tempo teams.Thomas added that everybody has to be on the same page and communicate.dddddddddddd..so we dont give up any busted plays, stuff like that.With the defensive line mostly healthy, Florida State is hoping to generate consistent pressure. It comes into the game second in the Atlantic Coast Conference in sacks with 33 while Syracuse has allowed the fourth most in the conference (27).Besides tempo, the challenge for the Seminoles secondary will be containing chunk plays. They have allowed 42 pass plays of 20 yards or more, which is tied for fifth most among Power 5 teams.They also cant focus in on just one receiver. The Orange are one of six Football Bowl Subdivision teams to have three receivers with 40 catches or more.Senior Amba Etta-Tawo is fourth nationally in receiving yards per game (124.6) and junior Ervin Phillips has two games of 10 receptions or more. Junior Steve Ishmael did not play last week due to injury but could return this week.Syracuse has 40 pass plays of 20 yards or more with Etta-Tawo accounting for 19.They like to get the ball out quick and take shots when they can. They do a good job of playing with their personnel, cornerback Marquez White said.White is likely to be matched up against Etta-Tawo, who he compared to North Carolinas Bug Howard because he is more of a possession receiver.I think the main thing for us this week is to take away that space, he said. You see a lot of teams like to play him off and give him soft throws. Thats not what I plan on doing this week.--More AP college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Joe Reedy on Twitter at www.twitter.com/joereedy ' ' '
