We should be using DRS says Hugh Morris – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, terming the technology as a must in Test cricket.
With Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) still reluctant to accept the DRS as a foolproof system, the ongoing series has seen plenty of umpiring errors, much to the dismay of the respective camps.

However, with India losing out the next two bouts, it was now England’s turn to lament the standard of umpiring in the ongoing final Test of the series. However, their stance had more to do with the decision of not implementing the DRS. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Handunnettige-Deepthi-Priyantha-Kumar-Dharmasena-c61394.
Cook was a victim of a poor lbw verdict in the first innings when he was facing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228 in the second innings, with replays showing that he indeed did not hit the ball.
With pundits already calling on the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 to offer uniformity in the use of the technology, the latest incidents have again raised question marks over their capacity as the leading cricket governing body. Despite BCCI’s notion that the system is not 100% accurate, Morris feels that the technology only improves the standard of the game.
"We made our views pretty clear at the beginning of the series. We believe DRS improves decision-making on the field." That has got to be good for the game. It is disappointing we are not using it in this series - and we should be."
"Over the last few years the DRS has really bedded into our game, has improved our game. We should be using it," Morris said while speaking to BBC Radio Five Live’s Sportsweek programme.
