Australia captain Michael Clarke says he’s a fan of cricket’s decision-review system (DRS) and supports the drive to use technology to improve the game.

India’s opposition to the DRS means it won’t be used in the four-Test series between India and Australia which starts in Chennai on February 22.

Currently agreement from both sides is needed to use DRS in a Test series.

At a recent ICC meeting in Dubai, India’s board chief N. Srinivasan reportedly threatened a walk-out from any series where the host country was able to make the call on whether the DRS would be used or not.

Perhaps the retirement of 39-year-old batting great Sachin Tendulkar in the next year or two will help India modernise their thinking on DRS, as Tendulkar’s dislike for seeing teams challenge decisions via a TV-replay system is believed to be a key factor in India’s stance.

The ICC’s figures show the DRS has increased the accuracy of decision-making from 92 per cent to 96 per cent.

Bowlers on both sides can be expected to complain all day long throughout the four-Test series, as they don’t have to face up to the scrutiny of a decision being reviewed on video by the third umpire.

Under the DRS system, each Test team has two unsuccessful challenges available each innings.

“If we use it (in India), great. If we don’t great,” Clarke told a media conference in Chennai on Friday.

“It doesn’t bother me as captain of the Australian team and it doesn’t bother any of the Australian players.

“I would like to see it consistently used. I’d like us to either say yes we’re going to use it in all the Test matches, in all the one-dayers or we aren’t.

“I’d like the ICC to be able to make a decision on that.

“But as long as it’s consistent for both teams and for the umpires on the field, it doesn’t really bother me.

“The DRS has been fantastic in the times I’ve used it.

“The game of cricket is trying to get decisions as consistent as we possibly can and I think technology has helped that.”
