Nothing has convinced India’s cricket board to re-evaluate its stance on the Decision Review System, but umpiring in the current Test series just might.

India’s strong start to the second Test was stalled by a poor decision from Ian Gould, who judged Cheteshwar Pujara to be out caught behind in the 34th over.

Pujara lingered at the crease momentarily and trudged off the Gabba, shaking his head in disbelief.

Replays confirmed why – the ball clearly deflected off Pujara’s helmet with wicketkeeper Brad Haddin uninterested in appealing.

“Not a great decision that one,” injured captain Michael Clarke posted on Twitter.

It is exactly the type of howler that led to the development of the Decision Review System (DRS) six years ago.

However, India mistrust DRS and it will not be used in the ongoing four-Test series.

Gould raised the ire of Shikhar Dhawan in the first Test, raising his finger when a bouncer clipped Dhawan’s arm en route to Haddin.

DRS could also have saved Ajinkya Rahane in the first Test, with the batsman incorrectly given out caught at short leg by umpire Marais Erasmus.

The system was first trialled in a Test between India and Sri Lanka in 2008 and made a terrible first impression on then captain Anil Kumble due to the inaccuracy of ball-tracking and other issues.

The technology has improved every year since its introduction and the International Cricket Council now has a much larger body of evidence to show as much.

The ICC set up a DRS working group, including Kumble, earlier this year but progress towards a universal set of playing rules has been limited.

“Unless it’s 100 per cent accurate I don’t think (India) will change our take on it,” stand-in skipper Virat Kohli said prior to the first Test.

“It just doesn’t make sense to us sometimes.

“Some people feel that it’s clearly a not-out decision and they’ve been given out.

“Or it seems like its out and guys have been given not out and (there’s) more than half a ball hitting the stumps.”
