Series in Australia

India will definitely win test series in Australia once DRS comes into play, as pathetic decisions such as those made by Steve Buckner during last series can be ruled over.

In the latest test match with Windies, in 2nd innings both Kohli and Raina could have benefitted if DRS been opted.

Am surprised by Geoff comments on India's financial might and no of tv channels queing up to cover the tour.While DRS is good for the game, it needs to be improved. They can maybe look at using the DRS in a limited manner for detecting nicks & catches.Predicting trajectory for LBW has flaws as were exposed in world cup.Geoffrey is a commentator;why he cant he say that he will not contract for any of the channels against whom he has an angst. This is hypocrisy. We all know that commentators queue up for contracts when India is involved in the series.There is a big moolah involved and everyone wants to make the most of it.

'We're going to have the DRS because it's made more accurate decisions for cricket and it's all players ever want,'"

You are not a expert in Physics or know much abt laws of physics. So let the people who know those say that because DRS does its simulation using the laws of physics instead of trying to be a salesman for DRS and its parent company.

You are mixing two separate issues. I mean bringing Iraq war in cricket?? U got to be kidding...
BCCI is scared of this because it will reduce cheating in the game. Lets not forget that there is influence of corrupt politicians like Sharad Pawar in BCCI.

I don't care what are the pros and cons of DRS system.
When things moved this close, when people are hell bend against India then I don't care what is right or wrong.
Lets make sure this DRS not implemented.Show us what India is.

DRS IS OK THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANY PROBLEM TO ACCEPT IT. EVEN GREAT SACHIN IS WITH DRS. BCCI IS A ORGANIZATION MADE BY BUNCH OF CORRUPT AND BLOODY FOOL WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE A CRICKET BAT BUT THEY ARE THERE. THEY SHOULD BE KICKED ON THEIR ASS. BOYCOTT IS RIGHT ON THIS ISSUE.

Geoffrey- You are right!
by ashwani sharma on Jun 23, 2011 07:20 PM

Geoffrey you are right! If he is a Britisher-does not mean -have no right to criticize BCCI/Sharad Pawar.
Where is the problem with application of DRS?
Something wrong with BCCI leadership! I request legends like Sunil Gavaskar,Kapli Dev,Ganguli,Vengi should speak their mind.

Rich Umpires
by rahul rajat on Jun 23, 2011 07:20 PM

Hope we can pocket umpires in our favor, if this has to help team Indian!! Guess BCCI is planning to field ALL batting eleven for future & umpiers will help us with wickets.
