After two Ashes Test matches where there has been more talk about DRS than the cricket, it was hoped the third Test would be different.

However, the first's days action at Old Trafford has once again brought into question the effecticeness of the review system.

Cricket Australia has asked the ICC to clarify the decision review system after Usman Khawaja was ruled to have been caught behind despite video replays suggesting he did not hit the ball.

From his vantage point in the commentary box, Jonathan Agnew has come down against the total reliance on technology.

“I have always been opposed to having it because of the arguments we’re still having – it is not right yet, it has been rushed,” he said.

“I would do away with all predictive technology. If they want it up to the point of impact, so you can see if someone has nicked the ball into the pad, or found the edge, that is fine, that technology is generally good enough.

“The predictive stuff worries me. The umpire’s call prediction is vague, open to rancour and upset. And using technology to call low catches not out should be banned.”

He added: “We will still be talking about it a year down the line, it still needs time to be effective enough and replace the very capable human beings who have been who have doing a good job for more than 100 years.”
