I agree
The current DRS system is better than the old days not having it at all but as with all things , the process can always be improved upon over time.
Surely what we want from technology is to get the most correct decisions as possible and by restricting reviews to only 2 per team per 80 overs, that simply will not be achieved.
The process needs to be taken out of the hands of the players and have an umpire review all decisions whether they be caught, LBW and No Balls along with Run Outs / Stumpings as they are now .
Who gives a shit if a bit of extra time is taken to get a correct decision?
Theres so much bloody time wasted now with other things its not surprising they never get their quota of overs bowled even allowing for overtime
Time delays that are common place now are -
Boundary reviews
Concussion / Helmet tests after EVERY head hit
Change of gloves
Drinks
Someone in Section F Row 8 Seat 14 that is standing up and not sitting down that is 15 metres to the left of the sightscreen but is still apparently a distraction to the batsman facing a spinner bowling 80 kmh
Sightscreen MALfunctions
And any other number of pathetic excuses
So is it really a big deal if for the sake of getting the most correct decisions possible if we lose another few minutes throughtout the day ??
