Yes. Lets not use technology that has been proven to increase correct decisions by 5%. Idiots.

Guys come on!! Some people like some dont!!
There are plenty of positives and plenty of negatives. Bat lubrication's, dravid's 3 dismal's all were wrong.Philip Hughes I suppose was also wrong in recently concluded Australia Srilanka series. If you find something going not write for betterment of cricket, lets move on!! Let it get 100% right.
There needs improvement in this system and once thats done everything will be fine!! People will start accepting it. Also, if ICC does not have the balls to speak against BCCI then its their fault. If they would have enough money to buy technologies or provide technologies from their pocket, this would be mandatory but now they dont have that and thats why no mandatory things.
If each and every country other then India like it go and use it in their series, show how good it is to the world. No one is saying no to other countries on using it!!

DRS increases the number of correct decisions. Thats the bottom line and the fact that India don't shouldn't come into the matter.
I don't like the way that seatbelts feel around my neck should that mean we shouldn't have use them? Regardless of the major increase in the safety of those in the car?
100% is impossible but why should we forego an extra 5% correct decisions just because it's impossible?

I agree to you, why let go that 5% but everyone knows, that its not even 25% right. Indians are against it is another matter, but DRS is not correct. Everything needs time and this will come into effect with time.
Poor countries like Bangladesh ,Zimbabwe etc wont afford the cost until they get sponsorship. Pakistan also finally got sponsorship from Pepsi otherwise there was no DRS. ICC needs to understand this, to spread a technology IT(ICC) has to bear the cost and not depend on sponsorship a country gets! With that DRS not fully fit to take a place in cricket are 2 big factors that is going against it. IMO its a right decision by ICC.
The country who likes, implements, the country which dont does not. The country who can afford, implements, the country which cannot does not!!

I am amazed to see such a u-turn by ICC after a very successful worldcup and post events. ICC should now change its name to BCCI. Indians were just over the moon when Sachin's out was overturn in the semi's and I still remember how they were making fun of Ajmal by saying that technology can't be wrong and now just one ???? series and that too by thier own fault and we have seen a "no mandatory" DRS u-turn. Its just amaze me......
I guess some of the members are making joke of themselves by saying that "don't use DRS until its 100% correct", by this logic every country must not even use any satellite or weather systems becuase they are no 100% correct or none should use any missile system becuase they precision is also not 100% correct or you all must not attempt your exams becuase you are not 100% sure about your answers. LOL!
Keep joking.... I guess ICC must remove 3rd umpires aswell and run outs must be given by on field umpires becuase even using technology you can not give a run out decision 100% correct becuase there may be a frame missing from the replay video.....

Haha. I'm not going to have a conversation with you if you're basing things on non existant "facts". You clearly don't understand what the issue is or how DRS works and has worked in getting better results.
If I recall correctly umpires make the correct decision 91% (it was something like that someone more enthusiastic than me can search for it if they're bothered) of the time. Lorgat today has announced that when DRS has been brought in decisions have been correct an extra 5% of the time.
Simple maths tells me that 96% is better than 91%. Those who bullshit about its reliabilty are making giant leaps based on a few decisons that the whole system is faulty. It isn't, they are.

So some people are suggesting it needs to be improved before being used again? It has already been statisically proven to increase accurate decisions. The technology would only have improved with use. The full DRS system should be in effect because the ICC said it should, not because the BCCI don't like it.
You'll notice that it only really seems to be Indian fans backing their board, whilst the rest of the cricketing world backs the governing body attempting to run the game.
ICC needs to stamp it's foot down and declare any test series without full DRS as invalid for international records. Then they need to try and make sure it's at every test series. ODI's, meh. Sod 'em. Let India go play themselves in some kind of 10000 game world series that never ends. They'd be bound to win, and think of the ad revenue.
Afterall, how can you fit yet more adverts in if coverage needs to hang around on the pitch to find out if a decision is correct. Honestly guys, the more I write this, the more I can see BCCI's point. Hark, the herald angels sing, glory to, the new ruling kings.

Bat lubrication was proven to be a myth too. Some claim thrown out by Tony Greig iirc.
Not that it matters, it'd be easier to convince a brick wall about DRS. Everyone else can use it, India can sit in their deluded little world. I'm fine with that, we then won't have to go through the some boring rubbish every time we unfortunately play them.
Toys out the pram.

I love how indian fans are against the DRS, yet without it you guys wouldn't have won the world cup!
Just because I don't want the DRS doesn't mean I am from the BCCI. What next? You will call me N. Srinivasan in disguise? Grow up. Opinions differ! I don't like the DRS because it has introduced the element of suspicion (when people can question batsmen on whether they applied Vaseline to the bat and tried to fool it, etc, when the Hawk-eye is completely unreliable, etc). I don't care the rate of success that the DRS brings to the table. Once the suspicion comes in, its just not a tool to use and I don't want Indian team to play in DRS games.
----------
If that final word was to DRS opponents, then THANK YOU FELLOW IDIOT!!!!!! We can use such words too. Just because we might be among a minority here as far as our views on DRS goes, doesn't mean you start throwing around such words.
Also I ask a question to whose who blame ICC for not having balls to tame BCCI. If you feel the ICC is so weak kneed, why doesn't your board stop being a member of the ICC and try to draft its own ICC or try to run its own international cricket or whatever?
----------
Are you trying to say that the World Cup was a script and that if the DRS didn't happen, India wouldn't have won the cup? How do you predict that? This is a far more serious allegation than match fixing.

Don't take us seriously. If you define a troll based on that criteria, you could be one yourself.
