England's Summer Of Cricket against New Zealand and AUSTRALIA!

Well there has to be a better way to use it then. Not only have we lost a wicket but we've lost a review too now.

Why dont they implement some sort of sensors on bat edges that is full proof and crease technology.

....or they could just leave the game as it was for 100 + years.

Why would anyone want to do that? The number of correct decisions has improved. Why would anyone want to make it worse?

Yeah I know that. But what I'm saying is that the system still has human input so prone to human error. It's pretty much the same with bringing in video technology to football. Referees have so many differing/varying interpretations of the rules that what's the point. You still aren't going to get consistency

In this instance there's enough room for error for the decision to be overturned. He hasn't done it. Due to it being a video system and incorrect decisions being made then more questions are going to be raised especially when wrong decisions are clearly made.

Just don't agree with the system. Maybe they need to limit it in use. If the wrong decision carry on then it's going to get binned I imagine

What's the point? The point is it has improved the number of correct decisions! The system can be utilised better maybe - but today's decision was just human error which has always happened and will always happen. I've never heard a single cogent argument against the use of DRS.

I'm really not sure what's difficult to understand about a proven reduction in bad decisions.

Critics of DRS have gone beyond having any reasonable argument against the system and descended into the "well-if-it's-not-perfect-why-use-it" fallacy. Foolishness.

Also if there was no DRS Khawaja would still be out! Nothing to do with DRS, the umpire(s) just ****ed up.

Im perfectly fine with that though. Thems the breaks in cricket. But when you go to a review system and still get it so wrong, whats the point of it. 7% increase in correct decisions.....thats **** all, not even 1 in 10 FFS.

But it is an increase, ergo it's better than before. And with better umpires and better use of the system it will continue to get better. Scrapping DRS would be foolish and a surefire way of ensuring more incorrect decisions.
