Keeping BCCI's stand on DRS at a safe distance, its laughable that with all
this technology and 'experts' at the helm, ICC cant even provide a proper
Third umpire review.
For me what is more appalling than the 2 review per team rule is the fact
that the 3rd umpire sits and watches every decision given by the on-field
umpire but cant speak (unless asked to), even if he sees howlers in front
of him - some decisions which could change the course of a test match.
Also this ball hitting half stump cracks me up everytime I see them zoom in
to start the Math of "oh its 2 cms to the left of the mid section of the
stump) Lol!
Find a way to weed out any howler and dont let it depend on the "gut
feeling" of the captain to go for review. Thats not how you fix things. Its
just a patch work.
Never seen such a big crybaby. Gone are the days where cricketers had to
travel by boat for 2 months to reach their destination and what about the
on-board food while they were travelling? To complain about the food when
they had one of the best Indian chefs here to prepare they meal is
ridiculous. And whinge about practice pitches? have you even seen the
grounds in India? they don't even have grass on it let alone the practice
grounds.

Regardless of his words as captain, his tactics were just ridiculously bad. Maybe Dhoni isn't right for the test captain spot.

Mr Dhoni, plz quit test cricket. You are ruining India's test cricket performances with poor captaincy and lack of contribution as batsman
