If England were to loose this test match, the DRS would be the last reason for their loss..

Why not replace the umpires with robots with all kind of sensors or just a lot of stump cameras with heat sensors, cameras etc..and just give decisions through the Giant screens.

Umpiring is a skill people work hard to acquire and go through rigorous examinations and certification process to reach a level where they can officiate an international Test match. DRS just sends the wrong message to these hardworking people and can put them under a lot of pressure when making a decision. I wouldn't feel comfortable if someone is always standing over my shoulders while I work waiting for a mistake to point it out.

Do you want to get rid of replays or run outs and stumpings too?

I work in QC, and I'd far rather the feeling of being checked on that the alternative of making more mistakes.

Robson's decision when looked in DRS for the first few times looks not out...you run it a few time and then you see that it is plumb.
DRS is good and yes might eliminate errors to some extent but wont win you a test match played over 5 days. Its just too many reasons given by the teams.
That said I still dont understand why India wouldnt adopt DRS.

There is a happy middle and with run out and stumping things are happening too fast for human brain to process and thus it makes sense to have them and It's not reviewing/reversing the decision it's rather umpire at his discretion asking for more information before making a (mistake/wrong) decision.

I work in Engineering and I always get into arguments with QC at work..so thanks for making me feel comfortable.

Bet if DRS was there broad would have reviewed it
Don't know why he's standing and protesting

Broad would review if two stumps were out of the ground!

Is there really more to compute in a stumping than an LBW?

surely there's less

Stumping
was he out of his ground?
did the keeper break the stumps with the ball in his hand?

LBW
did it pitch in line?
did he hit it?
was the impact in line?
was the batsman playing a shot?
was the ball going on to hit the stumps?

ROOOOOOOOOOT! #DoubleIt

And as I type that Plunkett gets bowled, oh poo!

[ProCricketer1982]

Aren't England playing well !! This attack is crap and still struggling!!

[mini998]

It is disgusting the way BCCI bully everyone else in this DRS matter.

At least they can use pitch map if they have major issues with other elements of DRS, that way at least you can eliminate balls pitching leg side for LBW shouts.

Surely you can't have anything against good old pitch map?

B. Kumar is probably the best swing bowler right now, perfect line and length
