To review or not review?<\/p>\n
Like it or not, DRS decision making has become one of the most critical parts of a cricket captain's job.<\/p>\n
And Australian skipper Tim Paine's poor track record continued against India today as rival captain Virat Kohli got a life.<\/p>\n
Kohli was on 16 on day one at the Adelaide Oval when a Nathan Lyon delivery appeared to brush his gloves before being caught by Paine down the leg side.<\/p>\n
After being given not out by the on field umpire, Paine consulted with Lyon and his close in fielders on whether or not to review.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Short leg Matthew Wade was keen but Lyon was not and Paine elected to keep all three of his DRS cards in his pocket.<\/p>\n
"Definitely ball on glove," Brett Lee said on Fox Cricket, while Kerry O'Keeffe was also convinced.<\/p>\n
"I just thought there was a sheepishness about Kohli's initial look," O'Keeffe said.<\/p>\n
"He felt something I think.<\/p>\n
"They can turn a game."<\/p>\n
Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle was also "surprised" by the non-review while Adam Gilchrist thought there was an element of doubt.<\/p>\n
"There is certainly a white mark there, was it there previously, or has that come from rubbing on top of the blade?" Gilchrist said.<\/p>\n

"Matt Wade was interested, the man under the helmet on the off-side was interested.<\/p>\n
"What does Snicko say?<\/p>\n
"There was a little wobble there, wasn't there?"<\/p>\n
Lyon was interviewed by Fox Cricket shortly after and understandably looked disappointed.<\/p>\n
"He hit it, did he?" Lyon asked.<\/p>\n
"I didn't hear anything.<\/p>\n
"It wasn't my best ball so I'll have to make up for it."<\/p>\n

Australia's greatest off-spinner proceeded to do just that, removing India's modern 'Wall' Cheteshwar Pujara for a patient 43 off 160 balls.<\/p>\n
And this time Paine was bang on, successfully using the DRS system to overturn umpire Bruce Oxenford's not out decision as Marnus Labuschagne held on to the catch.<\/p>\n
Kohli was eventually run out for 74 after he won the toss and elected to bat first.<\/a><\/p>\n
