Let's talk about the DRS

[putrevus]

Why should India lose to make a point about DRS, let us hope they win this match and then Kohli should go berserk and get DRS ASAP otherwise it will cost them a lot in future.

What is the BCCI's stated rationale for rejecting DRS?

Its not 100% perfect.

Can't they find a sponsor for it? Like Prem Jyothish? Imagine Manjrekar going "The captain has called for a Prem Jyotish DRS review. Let's see if Virat's Saturn and Mars are in alignment with his birthdate."

Show me proof man :finger:

There has been a clear trend that the umpires give majority of the close decisions against India in overseas tours. Last time we kept a count in the Australia tour, India got almost 3-4 times more wrong decisions than Australia. I am sure it is the same story everywhere. In the end it makes a significant difference in the outcome.

[Gollum]

We lost the England series because of that reprieve Ghanta got on zero in the 3rd test. Bugger went on to make 175 costing poor Panjak Singh his career. Another 5-6 decisions went against us in the last 3 matches of that series. RSA 2nd test Kohli dismissal cost us the series. In NZ the 1st test had 5-6 howlers against us. The less we talk about the Aus tour the better, more than 12 close decisions went against us. Even in the England home series of 2012 Cook got reprieves every single innings of the 1st 3 tests. :((

[BeautifulGame]

Well we are losing this test anyway . If we don't learn the importance of DRS even after this test then just give up any hope we ever will

[sensible-indian]

DRS or no DRS we shouldn't have been losing this game. Our team is phattu if we lose this.

[Gollum]

Sachin, Kumble, Dhoni where are you? You people have ensured that we won't win a series in Lanka even after 22 years of disappointment.

[Vijy]

DRS or no DRS we shouldn't have been losing this game. Our team is phattu if we lose this.

That's very true. The bowlers were really bad in the 2nd session, and the 2nd innings batting from India has been even worse.

[sensible-indian]

That's very true. The bowlers were really bad in the 2nd session' date=' and the 2nd innings batting from India has been even worse.[/quote'] No support for Ashwin and Mishra. When the ball got old, we too were 255-2 in the first innings. The we collapsed but Saha batted sensibly and got it to 380 (if not for bad decision, could have got it to 425-450). Its about new ball, old ball. Chandimal took a chance and it came off.

[Vijy]

2 digit score in the 4th innings coming up.

[swatpulla]

If I was Kohli, I would have blasted these umpires in my post match interview. These rubbish professionals need be shown their aukaat.

[G_B_]

you bat like this, i am afraid drs or no drs you deserve to lose. Its really hard for the umpires from the west to officiate on spinning decks. They are not used to it. But at the same time I am not 100% sure if DRS as well is suited for spinning decks. Maybe for seeing if there is a n edge or not. But not for predicted path.
