Provide the best DRS System to all teams: Ian Chappell

Australia endured a monumental set back when Sri Lanka won the second Test but it was the playersrsquo continuing indifference to etiquette that causes most concernThe match confirmed Australia still have a problem against good fingerspin bowling However Australia also suffered from the Decision Review System DRS insanity that bedevils Test teamsWhile England have recently done much to improve the image of Test batting the worrisome DRS and the continuing glacial overrates need urgent attentionIn July 2016 the DRS was extended to include the full delivery path In December the ICCrsquos David Richardson indicated the change was implemented to rid the game of the howler and ensure the correct decision DRS rarely achieves either of those resultsDuring the Galle Test Dinesh Chandimal was batting on 30 with Australia having utilised all its reviews The Australians then thought Chandimal got an edge to an attempted ramp shot but the not out decision prevailed and he produced a gamechanging 206 not outReviews misusedAustralia definitely misused their reviews on some 5050 decisions However it proved once more the DRS doesnrsquot always overturn legitimate appeals or provide the correct decision because the fielding side has a finite number of reviewsIf the ICC wants to employ the DRS it should at least achieve the results for which it was meant The DRS is technologicallyflawed but is also inadequate because there are LBW and caught decisions which can be complicated Many countries canrsquot afford the top technology so they effectively play under a different set of laws to those who can pay for the best systemThe best DRS technology should be provided to all teams by a cricket body who then operate the system rather than leaving it to television The system was introduced to supposedly help umpires rather than predominately protect DRS Currently it achieves the latter aim Overrates have been declining for decades and yet they are virtually ignored as the focus is on the money making capabilities of T20 The reason 90 overs in a day was originally recommended is because thatrsquos what a team should bowlUnder Clive Lloyd the West Indies promoted an argument that overrates donrsquot matter when matches are being won in less than the allotted time That argument is flawed The batting team should receive a reasonable amount of deliveries in a sixhour day while frontline bowlers tire at an acceptable rate The overs are rarely completed even with extra time allowed and those extensions are a blight on the gameIn addition umpires donrsquot enforce onfield etiquette probably because they lack the backing of the administrators This is unfair on patrons who are consequently shortchangedCaptain should be suspendedThe administrators could make major compromises and then demand that players bowl 90 overs in six hours with no deductions accepted A captain should be suspended without question if this aim isnrsquot achievedThere are many areas for compromise The administrators could abolish advertising on sightboards the replaying of possible boundaries reduce the constant drink shuttles and glove changes while eradicating needless midpitch chats during overs They could also return to a back foot noball without a drag problem thereby virtually eradicating a boring facet of the game as well as improving overrates There is no doubt better bats create field placement headaches for a captain Nevertheless the often senseless spreading of the field hasnrsquot helped teams either dismiss a batsman or improve overratesThe balance between bat and ball needs to be constantly monitored but instead appears to be religiously overlookedThe skills of the game are evolving but the laws often donrsquot keep pace with the need to improve the spectacle Some senior players have expressed a desire to foster Test cricketrsquos image but to do so they require a working partnership with the administrators If a muchneeded partnership to improve the game is not forthcoming then itrsquos time for the senior players to set the ball rolling
