The drs system should be used for all international cricket or non at all.

I'm not fussed either way as I reckon it evens out eventually (except for Damien Martyn in the English Ashes many moons ago).

But the ICC need to stand up and govern and make it consistent across the board.

This has to be the biggest bunch of nuffies we have fielded in recent history, if India cant win this they deserve to shot

Who cares. Shit decision, move on.

the problem is this, because of India's stacked batting line up, they don't want DRS as it would no doubt support the fielding side in more situations than not, benefit of the doubt always goes with the batsman

so what has happened is we got a decision go our way in the last game which was a 50/50 call, couldn't conclusively say what it hit live but you knew it hit something, next game he smashes one with his bat well away from anything else except the ball and is given not out.. my point being with DRS both of these situations would of been conclusively given out/not out and noone would be left thinking "oh Dhoni sure did play the media well"

whenever the ICC grows a pair and makes it official for all teams to use it or not use it the sooner this rubbish will be sorted out, imagine if a top 10 tennis player refused to allow any of his/her opponents to use hawkeye, this isn't too dissimilar

Cells building up around Warwick by the looks of it. We'd be hard pressed to get them in Brisbane but they can fizzle out and build up again before they hit Brisbane.

Rain definitely on the cards. Right conditions for it.

Was DRS used in India WC games?

Joel Paris has buckets of potential. I dont mind him getting a run with a view to the next world cup. He might take some stick but its a good learning experience.

The other bowlers are a bit pointless imo.

Is 'hits the deck hard' the new 'big levers?' What freakin good is it if you leak lots of runs and don't take wickets :crazy:
