Man behind cricket's DRS calls for complete overhaul


South African star AB de Villiers was clean bowled by Josh Hazlewood, but the DRS technology surprisingly showed the ball missing the stumps. Ian Taylor, the Kiwi behind cricket's Decision Review System, has called for a complete restructure of how the technology is used amid allegations that it is not accurate. The story comes on the back of a DRS 'howler' which occurred between Australia and South Africa in an ODI match earlier this week. "It is only technology, and this whole idea that everybody expects this stuff to be 100 percent accurate, all of the time, is just wrong," Taylor said. Makers of the Hawk-Eye technology, competitors to Taylor's initial designs, believe there has only been eight incorrect decisions in recent years.
