Why BCCI does not want UDRS

BCCI and senior Indian players are the single biggest opponent of UDRS. They don't trust the technology. They feel that technology still has to prove itself. But they don't trust the umpire either. After the 1st test against West Indies, team does not want to play under Daryl Harper again, because they think he is biased and gives poor decision against them.

The Jairam Ramesh controversy

Last week Jairam Ramesh stirred a national debate on whether our national institutions are world class. While there can be no debate on the point that quality of output ( research work )produced by IIT's and IIM's is not world class. The real point of contention is that whether students or faculties of these institutes are better. And the simple answer if ever was a teacher better than his students then he would not be teaching them. Because in every educational institution in the world without exception the expected average package of students is greater than their teachers/professors. And the key word is average. Students who are better than their professors they add value to their institutions. And the rest of students they get value addition from their professors.
