ICC want test cricket to remain relevant for the second tier sides, one fine way of doing that, aside from giving the players some actual cash that their boards cant get their hands on, is to throw in DRS for free. If you could compile a list of outrageous decisions Zim would be so far ahead of the ...

I think Illingsworth has had 5 atrocious decisions so far and its only day 3 I've not seen that for a long time. You'd have to go back to Hare, Harper, Bucknor and a couple of the Pakistani umpires.
