So what if the DRS isn't perfect?

Since it was first trialled in 2008, there has been no uniformity in the way the DRS has been implemented. It may never be perfect, but cricket has soldiered on. The sport hasn't died, nor has it been irreparably damaged, writes Osman Samiuddin in The National.

In any case, humans love the idea of perfection rather than perfection itself; we strive for it precisely because it is unobtainable (though you wouldn't know this going by some of the incredibly pedantic debate on the mechanics and accuracy of the technology being used). But if it at least reduces the number of really bad decisions, holds umpires to a greater degree of accountability (and as a bonus is entertaining viewing) then what is so wrong with it?
