DRS upheld what looked to be a marginal decision against the opener on Monday. Now he says match officials should be subject to the same scrutiny as players.
Having been what he thought was the victim of a miscarriage of cricket justice, David Warner says he wants to see greater accountability from on and off-field umpires, even to the extent of displaying their accuracy ratings on scoreboard screens., he was given out lbw by umpire Joel Wilson on the field and immediately called for a review, only for TV umpire Chris Brown to affirm the decision.“Normally when something hits me on the leg on the outside, I know it’s pretty much going down leg.
Speaking the next day, Warner said he would like to see umpires’ statistics on the scoreboard screen. “There has to be some accountability,” he said. “If you get a decision wrong, just accept it and apologise. Players aren’t going to bite your head off. Umpires aren’t going to bite your head off if you ask them the question. They’re generally pretty honest.
The thing to remember is that Warner is 36 and a lot. “I pride myself on my fitness, so now I keep taking the mickey out of a lot of the guys here,” he said. “I’m almost 37, running around like a little bulldog in the outfield. It comes down to attitude. And that’s what fielding is; it’s all about attitude.
Warner, a natural aggressor, has been the constant at the top of Australia’s order in all forms for more than a decade. For this tournament, his partner was to be the even-more-aggressive Travis Head, and the pairing was developing well until Head broke his hand in the prelude. “Going out in a one-day international, trying to take the game on in the first 10 , it’s like T20. You just don’t know what to do when you get outside 10. There’s still 40 overs to go. You feel like you can get 200 every game. It doesn’t happen that way.
