England captain Ben Stokes as soon as once more voiced his frustration on the ‘umpire’s name’ rule within the Decision Review System that continues to hang-out his group on the tour of India. Stokes, reflecting on England opener Zak Crawley‘s dismissal within the second innings of the Rajkot Test, urged how the ‘umpire’s name’ value the guests a wicket although the ball ‘was clearly lacking the stumps’. While former England captain Nasser Hussain agrees with Stokes’ disagreement on the Crawley dismissal, he’s not in sync with the concept of the elimination of ‘umpire’s name’.

Stokes is not the one high-profile cricketer to counsel the elimination of the ‘umpire’s name’ from DRS. Even former India captain Virat Kohli urged the identical prior to now. But, Hussain as soon as once more defined that it is necessary to have umpire’s name because it covers the ‘error margin’ within the know-how.

“Technology can be fallible but I’ve always been very strong on the fact I like the DRS and I also like the umpire’s call. Look at the shemozzle with VAR in football. It’s just not like that in cricket. Stokes and others like Virat Kohli may want to get rid of it but the umpire’s call is not there to protect the officials it’s there because of the margin of error in the technology,” Nasser Hussain wrote in his Daily Mail column.

When it got here to Zak Crawley’s dismissal, even Hussain agreed with Stokes, saying the England batter should not have been given out because the visuals confirmed the ball was lacking the stumps.

“Bear in mind, also, there have been a couple of changes in the system and the ball can now clip the top of the bails. The LBWs for Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley in the third Test did look high but they have increased the height by 1.3 centimetres. One thing I will agree on with Ben. He said the visual of Crawley’s dismissal showed the ball missing the stumps. If that’s the case you can’t have that,” he added.
