Photo: Getty ImagesAustralia's frustrations with cricket's Decision Review System continued at the Boxing Day test on Saturday with New Zealand all-rounder Mitchell Santner reprieved after appearing to glove a catch. Australia captain Tim Paine lost a referral when third umpire Aleem Dar upheld the decision after reviewing video replays from several angles. Dar said there was "inconclusive evidence" to over-turn Erasmus's verdict, although the ball appeared to brush the sweatband of Santner's glove. "It looked like it touched the sweatband,” Australia pace bowler James Pattinson told host broadcaster Fox Cricket. Paine complained about the DRS on day two after being dismissed lbw on review for 79.
