    I can't exactly say the percentage but it has significantly improved no doubt. Had it not for DRS Australia won't be 67/9 by now today. That under edge decision via hot spot technology certainly was a massive turn around.

    No idea of the percentages but here against both SA and Sri Lanka in the tests, most field umpire decisions have been upheld.

    We are getting flogged but many of us here felt it was coming. The players and selectors totally underestimated Sri Lanka and we are paying the price. Malinga, Kulasekara and Mathews are not bowleers to be underestimated. Hopefully, Inverarity and co. will fall on their swords sometime between now and the end of the game.

    Edit: All gone with batsmen 9 & 11 scoring the runs.
