The DRS is more about the inherent right of a batsman or a bowler to appeal rather than just technology. Due to the stupidity of BCCI, players all over the world are suffering. Let's accept it! We need the DRS overwhelmingly. No system is perfect. One could've said about the third umpire system based on replays in 1992 when SRT was given out for the first time against SA. But we continued with it and it became a hit. We need to support the DRS. Are we the most intelligent of them all and the other, just plain idiots? Just because we've money?

why such misinformation by videshi ungaal press. It is like those ungaal refugee who don wrong on purpose then plead mafi-mafi to gGod.
As long as the correct decision is made, why is anyone complaining at all? So, what you are saying is - because DRS is not used, the third umpire should close his eyes and adjudicate only whether the catch was taken and give Sachin "WRONGFULLY" not-out? I cannot believe we are even talking about this.
What if Sachin was given out on a no-ball and the catch was referred to third-umpire? Would you not instead ask for the third umpire to also look at the front foot as well and make the "CORRECT" decision? I cannot believe we are even talking about this, especially after the correct decision was made.

Balaji, as per the rule, it is not supposed to be referred. The third umpire should only check for catch & not for no-ball in your case, & in Sachin's case they should have checked only if catch is taken cleanly or no. But I've seen them break from this several times.
I agree to your point that correct decision is made. But you also think of this, what if Australians had used up all their reviews if DRS was in place. Then they wouldn't have chance to appeal for this. So DRS also is not the solution.
Sachin you were one of the best the world has seen. You along with Dravid were humiliated in Australia. Dravid retired before he was pushed out. Please leave before totally disgracing yourself. There is nothing left for you to prove. Self Respect is far more important than a few more rupees.
DRS is a great tool for umpires and players to correct any mistakes. I am baffled why India is still stuck in MUD regarding DRS! We see a lot more right decisions that wrong decision because of DRS. GROW UP INDIA. Technology is available to make the game better. Don't ruin it over stubbornness.
If Sachin was given not out, then questions would have been raised that, why the 3rd umpire didnt consider the nick? This is the case where any decision by umpire will raise eyebrows.
In case of DRS reviews, or on field checking by umpires to 3rd umpire, first the no ball is checked, even if it is overlooked by on-field umpire, - so the solution here is to cover all the points in the review system, i.e. the 3rd umpire should look at all the points in the replay and base his decision on that, irrespective of the on-field umpire's decision. This might plug the loopholes in the review system.
