This week, the Cricket Guys take aim at the umpire's call within the ubiquitous Decision Review System (DRS) and try to understand it's role in the modern game. We explore it's background, the science beyond it's technology, potential improvements, and the ways the system has changed the game, as told through numbers - all while taking potshots at certain sections of broadcast teams. We also take a glance at news that 'almost' passed us by in our brand new 'Meanwhile' segment. As always, brace yourselves for plenty of links and data.
