Don't blame on umpires

India’s stone-age attitude to technology may have cost Sachin Tendulkar's wicket at the Eden Gardens Kolkota.  Indian press went Ga Ga about the LBW decision given to Sachin.  India's "stubborn rejection" of state-of-the-art decision review technology cost a wicket. The same thing holds good when Shillingord was declared LBW to Sachin Tendulkar.  We did not contest as the same was taken by the man with Golden Arm and there is no doubt.  India once again refused a decision review system (DRS) despite the pleas of ICC as we use money power to nullify all effects and win easily at home all the time. Even Powell and Samuels were dismissed by dubious decisions in the second innings.  Indian team is trying to evade state of art technology by giving lame excuses and once when it pinches them all through a test match and lose by a close margin then only BCCI will realize its folly and embrace technology with both the hands.  Instead of just seeing just the weakness of opposition we blame umpiring while winning matches at home all the time. It is indeed a shame for Indian to blame the umpires when Sachin is given out.  Be a sport always.
