Zzz, so much whining for such a trival matter. :facepalm:

How exactly is this whining given the facts...

 

Exhibit A: Aussies got almost all DRS decisions correct in the first two Tests

Exhibit B: Kohli saw Aussies cheating the DRS system by relying on dressing room to help with the decisions and called out Aussies

Exhibit C: Aussies were caught on video cheating headed by their captain (Smith)

Exhibit D: Since the time Aussies were caught cheating they have almost got all the DRS reviews wrong

 

And it's not a minor thing as if you allow a team to get their DRS decisions correct, it's a huge advantage as even a single decision can turn the game as we are seeing this Test.

How's kohli right. Just because aussies have got it wrong in this test doesn't necessarily mean kohli's accusations were correct. That last incident was a brainfart from Smith's part. 

 

Ppl can claim all sorts of things but it's upto them to back those claim with proper evidence. Has kohli provide any? 

 

 

See my post above this one for explanation... in nutshell if you were getting majority of DRS reviews correct and after being called out for cheating you start getting nearly every decision wrong, it's more than a coincidence.

aussies have been quite smart with their reviews and reviewd only the real close calls in the first two tests ...

Why the change now?  Again, we don't have enough data to formulate a good explanation, but eyebrows can be raised for sure :-).

To be completely honest aussies have been quite smart with their reviews and reviewd only the real close calls in the first two tests whereas India especially kohli did exactly the opposite and wasted all of their reviews by reviewing 20-80 calls. 

 

Now a conspiracy theory can very well be developed based on Australia's success rate with the reviews in first two tests, but then again it could also be our imagination. 

Conspiracy theory involves hearsay and no proof and hence is termed "theory". In this instance there's more than enough evidence that it's not a theory. As you mention how can Aussies who were so "smart" with their DRS calls suddenly get nearly every call incorrect since Kohli and umpires caught up to them? Maybe the real DRS smarts of the Aussies were in the dressing room which they can't rely on anymore. Some of the DRS calls by Aussies since the Smith incident have been so poor that it reinforces Kohli's point about Aussies relying on off field assistance with DRS.

Thats bcoz of communication gap between the dressing room n aussie players on the ground...

That's what I've been saying from the beginning. I also bashed Smith for being a cheat, but we also can't rule out the fact that it could also be a brainfart from Smith's part especially considering the fact that the match situation was quite tensed back then and the reasult of that match was depending on his wicket. 

 

 

It's kohli who shouldn't have made those claims in front of the media as the captain of the host nation. 

But you didn't answer the question.  In the first 2 tests, they called it right most of the time.  Not so much anymore.  Just bad luck?
