Mahendra Singh Dhoni is like the King in the game o chess. The King is the most useless piece on the board, but then all the other pieces are used or sacrificed to protect and save the king!
Third empire should immediately come into play, whenever a wrong or doubtful decision is given by field umpire, by this the honor remains with umpire only, not to the player who may use review system like on XYZ decisions, the third empire should send signal to the ground empire that the decision is being reviwed and fair decision should be taken based on tv replay..and the legacy of cricket remains intact!
Yo Man! When you are drowning, you dont think about a life jacket with or without warranty. You will cling onto a piece of wood if that would hold you above the water! Think wise....
Any sane person would opt for UDRS to make the game fairer. It's scary when the person opposing UDRS happens to be the same brain captaining India. Even a cow would have better sense than Dhoni.

If you can remember when India was touring Australia in last time. This sytem was not working perfectly and it was going in favour of ausis. Even Gavaskar was surprised the way it was working during comentry.

It was not UDRS my friend. There was a agreement between the captains that the close in fielders will be consulted in close decisions, not TV Replays.
Had India agreed to UDRS, they would not have lost Sydney test.

Yes. Its BCCI rather than Dhoni who is making the call here. Knowing Dhoni, he has too much of common sense to oppose this. The BCCI does not want to spend more on each game to implement UDRS (period). Dhoni's claim of 'lifejacket without warranty' is ludicrous. I would rather have a broken lifejacket than NOT have a lifejacket at all. We had 3 decisions going against us - not just one

was comparing brainpower or IQ level.. must apologize to the cows, they deserve better comparison
India should not accept this system. We saw different kind result during India tour of Austrailia in last series. Even Gaveskar was complaining sometimes when India was batting it was showing that ball would have hit the wicket from goodlength but it was showing different way when Ausis were batting.

This guy is acting too smart. It is the ICC that needs to implement scientific tecniques after consulting technical people. This is guy is a good captain but he should have no say in implementing UDRS.

He is captain and if as a captain he is not satisfied with this system he should definetely have the right to say.
