I accept the challenge...
It should be relatively easy with cricinfo. The last five years?
Sorry if I sound dumb but why don't India use the DRS system?

Because the Indians are traditionalists who believe that the umpires decision is FINAL.

Because they believe it takes away the Umpires authority.
They believe the game should be played in the old fashioned way - i.e. By the louder the wicketkeepers appeals, the more likely to be out !

Bob Willis was asked this on The Verdict a couple of tests ago, the answer was "money".

India all out 94 and no dodgy decisions - just crap batting !

Just shocking but as Gavaskar says nothing will change in Indian Cricket while Test Cricket comes a very poor second to one day cricket, in particular a country mile behind the IPL.

not because they think its a white western conspiracy to make sure they lose?!
Oh yes, I forgot about that!
Nothing to do with that, they remain unconvinced around the accuracy of the predictive element of hawk-eye which makes up a lot of the DRS system.

India are about where we were after our recent Aussie tour - total shambles.
