England coach Andy Flower defended the effectiveness of the decision review system but said the protocol when using the technology needed to be reviewed.
The England coach visited the match referee Javagal Srinath in the latter stages of the Test to seek an explanation after England captain Andrew Strauss was adjudged to have been caught behind, even though there was no evidence from hot spot that he had hit the ball.
Earlier Saeed Ajmal had also been given out to a catch at short leg that where hot spot was unavailable and replays suggested the ball had missed both Ajmal's bat and gloves.
"With DRS, we get more decisions right, so I think it's a good addition to the game," Flower said. "I think Ajmal's dismissal was worse than Strauss'. It was very obviously not out. Strauss was unfortunate, one of those examples where technology didn't come up with the right decision.
"I certainly don't think a side should lose a review in those circumstances. It wasn't proven one way or the other whether they hit it or missed it"
Lets wait and see if ICC could take a notice in andy's favour or not.
