Opener Ed Cowan called on cricket's governing body to use the review system in all Test matches after two controversial umpiring decisions went against Australia on the opening day of the first Melbourne Test against India on Monday.

Debutant Cowan (68) and senior batsmen Mike Hussey (0) were given out caught behind but were unable to seek a referral to the video umpire for adjudication because of India's refusal to use the review system for this series.
