Tremlett is not the only English cricketer baffled by India's opposition to DRS as after fellow pacer James Anderson even spinner Graeme Swann has also expressed surprise at the BCCI's rejection of the system.
"I don't know whether it is mistrust of technology or kidology on their (India's) behalf," Swann was quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.
"It reduces all bowlers' effectiveness but we might get a couple given that would have been overturned and it would be quite amusing if that happens. I know I'm definitely getting more lbws," explained.
Swann said bowlers, who have been denied wickets due to the on-field umpires' doubts about LBWs, can now hope to snare more by turning to technology.
"What has happened is that umpires are now far less reluctant to give lbws not out on the front foot, particularly the left-hander kicking away straight balls from the off-spinner.
"They used to be able to get away with that all day but since DRS umpires are going off the field and studying videos and seeing mistakes made, and are now more willing to give those out," he pointed out.
