Episode 16 - Understanding the DRS

With the end of the ODI series between India and England, the Beardos are excited about the new beginnings. But while that journey towards the IPL might be exciting, it will have to wait. Why? Well it’ll have to wait simply because we need to find out a few things before we move on. What things you ask? Well I’m glad you asked because take a look at this – 1. Is India’s slow-and-steady costing them matches? 2. Is someone being a liar the reason behind Pant being on Fire? 3. Is it time to begin the search for a “Toss Specialist” in Indian Cricket? Further to this, with almost every series having a “DRS controversy” we seek to clear the air of the confusions in the Umpire Decision Review System. We explain to you the history of the DRS, the technology behind the DRS protocol, its impact on the game and much more. While the umpires have largely been right on a majority of the occasions, we imagine that maybe a Tablet would help them be better!!! Except for Nitin Menon of course, because you cannot improve perfection, can you?
