Cricket: DRS questioned after Dravid's wicket
Dravid was adjudged safe by the umpire following an appeal for an edge.
CHESTER-LE-STREET:
The Decision Review System (DRS) has come under fire due to the controversial nature of Rahul Dravid's dismissal in the first One-Day International between India and England. Dravid was adjudged safe by the umpire following an appeal for an edge. However the decision was reversed on review, presumably on snickometer evidence only, though the rules state that Hot-Spot technology alone should be used to reverse a decision.
