But I think the DLS system has another flaw. Often times it comes into play because of the rain. And many times after a break in play because of rain the cricket pitch does not stay the same as it did before the rain. That usually has a significant effect on the outcome of the match. That is the biggest and most effective flaw in the DNS system. Other than that I think the system is OK.
But as I have said many times, this is the reason why the result becomes unbelievable. I know that it is better than what we had previously and it is actually good, not gonna lie, but I just think there can be something better.

It will be difficult to take these minute details in to account. DLS comes in to play for a variety of reasons, although rain interruption is the most common one. Sometimes it can be due to bad light and other reasons. What I am saying is that I don't see any concrete reason to dump the DLS method and rely on something else. Losing teams may complain, but they need to accept the results and move on. Sometimes you need a bit of luck on your side as well, when you play international cricket.

Yes, I agree, but I am just trying to point out that things could probably be improved. And by that I mean maybe ICC can always think about how to make the DLS system more effective. I think that it would be helpful to be able to input the weather conditions as well as the pitch condition in order to give a more accurate target. They don’t necessarily have to completely abandon the current DLS method. But they can obviously work on making it better.

I obviously don’t think that is too much to ask. If they want to bring in another suitable solution, it is fine by me but that is going to be time-consuming and with a redesigned system, new problems will rise. But that is not going to be the case if they simply upgrade the DLS system.

If it is reliable and rational then ICC can certainly will accept it. But as far as I know they are not willing to extend the match. It is not possible for them to take a match to another day. Because there are many kinds of expenses and the schedule of cricket has to be changed. For which they may find this method more suitable. Obviously, they are trying to discover better method that will be more reliable for the cricket world.
