Two things which are worst ever in the history of the nation -Cricket and Films . I do not blame the people - who are starving or unemployed or subject to humilation at every government offices , can not lead a normal simple life.So they need diversion which the above two provide .Have you seen movies defiing all laws - simply becuase people so fed up with goons , bureaucrats including the police , politicians - they would like th ebad to be beaten up which they can not do - so they get a pleasure this happening in the make believe world . In current scenario the good will never win over the bad in India - Good will be decimated . Also tons of man hours are wasted on cricket - it will be great if the game dies a natural death .It is nothing but a business with all rich and unethical getting involved - for bCCI it si more money to loot .Sooner the game dies the better it is.

India takes wicket, I jump in joy and then have to wait 5 minutes before the decision is given. All the instant excitement is gone. Thats what sport had over other things - unpredictability, excitement, sitting on knife's edge. All thats gone. Man replays for anything except runouts are needless. Who cares who wins or loses, over long run it evens out. Just take the DRS away.

completely agree with you. In football even at FIFA we dont have technology for umpiring. Yeah it should be spontaneous.
After you see bizarre decisions being given against batsmen even after being referred to the third ump, you wonder if commonsense has flown out of the window.
