Hotspots are irrelevant. Only the Indian players like it. The REAL difference UDRS makes is by using the Hawk Eye -- which is available in all of the countries I mentioned. And yes the host broadcasters pay for it. Why can't Nimbus pay for Hawk Eye when it can pay $600 million for the TV rights? The only explanation I can think of is BCCI is not interested in using the UDRS. Because if they do, then they can no longer create pressure on umpires to give decisions in their favour. Had UDRS been used in the SA-Ind series, India wouldn't have won the Durban test match where THREE crucial decisions went against SA.
