Melbourne: Australian captain Ricky Ponting feels the controversial Decision Review System should have been tested in One-day and Twenty20 before being introduced in Tests as the innovation still needs some "refinement".
"In the last 12 months, the review system was used that was more a trial period. We know that it's going to be used in every Test series from now on. I still think there's some refinement that can be done with the actual technology that's used," Ponting was quoted as saying by 'The Sydney Morning Herald'.
Ideally you'd like to have them tested elsewhere," he said.
DRS, which allows teams to challenge umpiring decisions in close dismissals, is being used in the ongoing Test series between Australia and the West Indies. There was controversy in the second Test in Brisbane due to the system when one of the decisions by umpire Mark Benson was overturned despite lack of video evidence.
Ponting said DRS is meant to clear all doubts and should be 100 per cent accurate to justify its introduction.
His West Indies counterpart Chris Gayle, to whom the system hardly makes any sense, reiterated that DRS remains a "complicated" issue for him.
Ponting, however, remained supportive of the innovation but felt the umpires' feedback should be taken every now and then to ensure that they don't feel undermined.
