DRS woes

India has been opposing DRS for a while now and only way to make it happen is making it compulsory for a tournament as it happened with World Cup. I agree with India (for that matter Sachin/Dhone) that DRS is not a foolproof. I watched first test between England vs Srilanka. In Second innings of Srilanka, Dilshan was given out cought behind. He went for Referral. There is nick (visible that ball kissed gloves), but hotspot failed to notice it. There is deflection, there is noise, ye hotspot did not pick it up. It brings again same debate whether we should use technology which does not give correct results all the time. Its better to use DRS on experimental base and its upto teams which want to take part in these experiments.
