Debate on Decision Review System rages on
Adelaide:The use of Decision Review System (DRS) has been a hot topic of discussion since Indian team’s refusal to use it. It once again came in to the limelight on the third day of the first Commonwealth Bank Test between India and Australia here Thursday.
According to Cricket Australia
(CA) website, the debate started when off-spinner Nathan Lyon made a vehement appeal for an leg-before-wicket decision against Indian opener Murali Vijay after he was struck on the pad with the final ball of the 22nd over of the innings.
The decision was turned down, and Australia captain Michael Clarke might have considered using a review, if one had been available.
However, the television replays clearly showed that the ball was missing the stumps and that the umpire was correct with the ‘not out’ decision.
The DRS has not been used for the Test series after objections from the Board for Control of Cricket in India (). It became a topic of debate for the Wide World of Sports commentary team.
Former leg spinner Shane Warne was also vocal in his support for the technology.
“It doesn’t matter if you agree with DRS or not, what does matter is that everyone should have to play by the same rules,” texted Warne, after the question was raised as a ‘Viewers’ Verdict’ in the Cricket Australia Live app.
“Either everyone plays with it, or nobody plays with it,” he added.
DRS however will be in use for the ICC Cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in February and March.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
