"It was a frustrating outing for bowlers all round, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar who thought he had the wicket that could have sealed the win for India. In his third over, the 17th of the innings, Bhuvneshwar delivered a pinpoint yorker that JP Duminy flicked at and missed. It smacked him on the boot. Bhuvneshwar appealed vociferously but the umpire ignored him while the batsmen ran two leg byes. Replays showed Bhuvneshwar's irritation was well placed. When the pitch map was laid down, it revealed that the ball could have gone nowhere else but middle stump and Bhuvneshwar had been denied a big wicket. "

again drs and again ppl forget drs and its impact over wc15. besides rohit lbw shout in 2-3 over was also close so it all evens out.
, the rohit lbw was probably just clippining the bails and would not have been over turned. The duminy lbw on the other hand was a s out as they come.

Oh yeah? If he is such a great thinker then how did he miss the fact that DRS is only supposed to be used for howlers?

If it's umpire's call, that means there was an uncertainty. So it was not a howler. Period.

Why should the fielding captain think about umpire's call in "15 seconds"? All he should think is was that decision a clear howler or not so that he could decide to review.

What does he not understand? If the technology is super sure, it's technology's call. If not, then it's umpire's call. After all, our brains and eyes are pretty decent.

He has explained how they can still be biased.

Who dropped the idea in his head that DRS is supposed to remove umpiring bias? It is for eliminating genuine umpiring errors, not for addressing each and every conspiracy theory spun up by the Indian players.

then it should be used only for howlers and should be in the hands of 3rd umpire but right now, it is used tactically and not for howlers.
