Why on earth isn't full DRS being used in this current series?
It gives way more correct decisions than incorrect ones and should be used to correct obvious howlers.
I can only surmise that India's top batsman are afraid of getting out LBW to Swann. Over the last few years, many more LBW decisions have been given against spinners when the batsman just plonks his front foot down and pads the ball away.
DRS helps to take out the human fallibility element and 'top' players can't pressurise umpires or rely on their generosity.

Getting LBW to Swann.

yeah yeah neon.
DRS has flaws though the positives of the system outweigh the slight negatives tenfold.

Neon, no-one has ever said that DRS is 100%, infact ICC stats show that prior to the DRS, accurate decision were around the 90% mark, but since its inclusion, this has increased to 97%..... I dont see what the issue is? Eventually the indians will come in line with the rest of the world...it makes sense.........
