Watch the Sydney 2008 video with Shastri, Harsha and SMG talking about availablity of technology and using it to make correct decisions...and to see we are back to the on field umpires. All that talk of 2008 sounds so hypocritical now. There obviously be mistakes made by the umpires and this time we will have no one but ourselves to blame.

That's exactly the type of DRS which was used when we toured SL in 2008 (Mendis series). Didn't have much luck with that, and afterwards BCCI turned their backs towards the system. So don't expect them to accept it again.

:dito: Some of these Indian players are the biggest hypocrites going around. In 2008, the outrage was justified; but after their pathetic stand against DRS it just looks like it was whining and moaning as they don't even want to accept technology when the rest of the world is happy to use it. If we get screwed over by the umpires and lose yet another series in Australia as a result, I will have zero sympathy for the players or BCCI.

But in the England series, technology raised more questions than it solved. All of us saw it, when the off-field umpire was also overturning the technology. If technology is used then technolgy should over-ride both the on-field and off-field umpires..you cannot have a case by case interpretation by the umpires. If anyway umpires are going to overturn technology based decisions, why use technology at all?

the first series where DRS was trialled involved India(Ind v SL).they werent happy with it,n we've seen it give many wrong deecisions.so they r entitled to that stand.they havent changed thier stand wen DRS worked in thier favour(v Pak n SF).so thier stand is clear

Khan to Hussey, OUT, Hussey gets another blob! He's been bumped out. I don't think he edged that. There's no UDRS. Utter brute of a delivery from Zaheer, bounded up from a length and snorted past Hussey who was on the hop trying to get out of harm's way. He did, too. The ball brushed his sleeve on the way to Dhoni. India went up in appeal, so did Erasmus' finger
