Smith to seek explanation on DRS

Posted in Sports

Australia captain Steve Smith will seek an explanation from match referee Chris Broad over a DRS malfunction during his team’s victory in the second Test but a failure of the ball-tracking technology shone the spotlight on the often divisive DRS. With West Indies on 210-5 and battling to keep the match alive, paceman Peter Siddle cannoned a delivery into captain Jason Holder’s pads and Smith demanded a review after umpire Marais Erasmus waved away the appeal. The third umpire went through the usual protocols of checking for a no-ball and a nick on the bat, but there was an awkward pause as the `Hawk-Eye’ ball-tracking failed to display on the scoreboard. Moments passed before the malfunction sunk in and a resigned Erasmus shrugged that the DRS had failed. Australia were allowed to keep the review and play went on, but a few overs later the technology was back online. Its projection of the delivery, beamed on the scoreboard and TV screens, endorsed Erasmus’s not out decision. “We’ve made a few enquiries and we’re going to talk to the match referee later on,“ Smith said. “But it’s not ideal if it’s shut down and not working.“ West Indies skipper Holder said he found the incident “quite surprising“. “It was just unfortunate.It happened at that stage,“ Holder said after the match.
