who says DRS is not 100% accurate...? that it is not full proof...?
the problem is with us who can't see its success...
ever since the DRS was conceived it has been 100% successful... its a myth that DRS was conceived to prevent obvious howlers... no it was not...
if that was the case a third umpire could have simply whispered gently into the on-field umpires' ear "mate you have made a howler there..."
but that would have been too simple... too silent and so nonchalant...
bet bureaucracy to come up with system that tries to catch right ear with left hand from the back of head... hence the DRS in its current state...
so the teams were given only two chance to overcome so called 'howlers' and after that left on the mercies on same 'harpers' to cry over them...
the drama was ensured... when DRS was implemented... and even when not... the spot light was conveniently shifted from the ineptness of on-field umpires to the ineptness of teams to use the DRS...
now nobody cuss umpires who make howlers anymore... but the teams who are inapt at handling DRS...
fans, pundits alike have burned and will continue to burn midnight oil to give their two cents on DRS... cameras will continue to strip umpires off their whites... will continue to provide fodder to commentators... pundits and fans alike to engage on duels...
in any case broadcaster are laughing all the way to bank for they have got the tool that can inflate emotions... flare tempers... act as trigger to initiate endless duels...
DRS continue to polarise world... to the extent that if you are not with DRS... you are against cricket...
there is a saying in hindi... "jooari jeetay ya na jeetay... par jooaa khilaane waala hamesha jeetta hai..."
(those who gamble may or may not win... but the one who provide the gambling platform always win...)
do you still think DRS is a failure...?

DRS is a change for good but it itself needs some technological advancement and laws to prevent human adulteration.
no technology can be so full proof that human adulteration will not be required... what we indeed need are actually humans sitting there not robots who just go by book and fail to use their uppari maala (brain)... and thing called common sense which has become so rare...
but incidents like that fidel edwards no ball incident involving dhoni do pose serious questions about the "humans"involved in the technology. What if this becomes a norm that broadcasters in every home country start doing this.
to answer your question... a simple question... can a captain ever set field for bad bowling...? :)
