After seeing hotspot fail on a few occasions and my general disbelief at some of the predictive paths during the world cup, I don't think I'm too chuffed about certain elements of DRS. Of course DRS is useful to figure out where the ball pitched and the replay will dictate how high it struck the batsman on the pad and how far back or forward he was. But beyond that I am not too big a fan of this predictive path crap. I offer no scientific evidence - in fact if you believe the ICC the scientific evidence is stacked against me. But to the naked eye some of these predictive paths seem bizarre.
