DRS holwer ... Usman Khawaja cops terrible DRS decision. Source:FoxSports
THE umpire decision review system is a joke. Bad umpiring on the field has been compounded by bad umpiring off it.

No matter how good the technology is, if those using it cannot see what millions are watching on television then it is of no use.
The only way the International Cricket Council can make the DRS work is to properly train specialist umpires on how to use the system.
At the moment it does not. It has become an embarrassment which will reinforce all the illogical arguments proffered by the Board of Control for Cricket in India not to use it.

Collective incompetence by on field umpire Tony Hill and video umpire Kumar Dharmasena has put the immediate Test future of Usman Khawaja in jeopardy.
Hill has never been a good umpire but the DRS offered a fail safe for his shockers, or at least it should have.
How on earth Dharmasena thought Khawaja was caught behind by Matt Prior off Graeme Swann will no doubt remain one of the game's great mysteries.
The ball after surviving a leg before wicket appeal off Swann, Khawaja had a wild swish at a wide ball.

Prior appealed but neither Jonathan Trott at slip nor Swann reacted.
Hill took an age to give Khawaja out. He went down to batting partner Chris Rogers and appeared to say "I don't know" but referred the decision after a brief discussion.
The review took another age from numerous angles and the hot spot. Nothing suggested that Khawaja had hit the ball.
The original replay appeared to show it had clearly spun past the outside edge.
Hotspot showed nothing, then a shot from behind appeared to show Khawaja flicking his pad with his bat.
The use of technology through this whole series has been a complete shambles which has added to uncertainty rather than clearing it up.
And the system of each team being allowed two wrong reviews in each innings means the howler still takes place.
During the first Test at Trent Bridge a thick edge off Stuart Broad flew from Brad Haddin's gloves to Michael Clarke at slip.
Aleem Dar, usually one of the best umpires in the world, somehow managed to give it not out and Australia had no referrals left.
Broad went on to score an extra 28, twice as many as Australia eventually lost the Test by.
As for Khawaja, he made just one and needs a big score in the second innings to ensure he keeps his place.
A peripheral player since the last Ashes series in Australia, when he debuted as a replacement for the injured Ricky Ponting, Khawaja has never been able to establish himself in the side.
He was given the opportunity after Ed Cowan was dropped following the first Test and had a mixed game at Lord's, playing a poor shot in the first innings before a gutsy 54 in the second to top score for Australia in what was a generally dismal team performance.
Now Hill and Dharmasena have managed to compromise Khawaja's career.
The ICC needs to spent much more on developing umpires or the game will continue to make a fool of itself in front of millions.
