India Vs Srilanka - LBW's

Half way down the 2nd innings of the third match in the five match ODI series with Srilanka has seen four leg before wickets and all of the four wickets given out were against India. This is heights of craziness, Sachin Tendulkar the little master was given out in all the 3 matches for deliveries going away from leg-stump and the fourth was Yuvi who was given out as a lbw after getting a clear and thick inside edge. All the four leg before decisions were wrong decisions.

India appealed for a lot of successful leg before but were turned down. It is time to decide if lbw needs to be manual or should be given to the third umpire. I know that the manual error gives more fun to the game. But, with wrong decisions propping up for all the appeals, one needs to think about it.

India's success in the ODI series so far must have made the Indian cricketers neglect the umpiring errors.
