India's reluctance over DRS a mistake

India's reluctance to accept the Decision Review System is regrettable writes Peter Roebuck in the Hindu. The BCCI wants to wait till the technology has been rendered foolproof. But humanity cannot wait upon perfection or else we'd all still be in caves.

The wrong question has been asked. The issue is not whether the systems are 100 per cent reliable but whether better verdicts are reached. To my mind, more appeals are answered correctly than ever before. Of course, the new ways are not perfect — players will find loopholes, third umpires will err — but let's get on with it.
