Nasser Hussain opens up on Ben Stokes' criticism for Umpire's Call

Former England skipper Nasser Hussain addressed some questions of the general audience in his column for DailyMail. One question was over Ben Stokes' criticism of the DRS in the IND vs ENG Test Series. While the former English skipper opened up on his admiration for DRS and the umpire's call, he agreed to one aspect of the skipper's criticism.

"Technology can be fallible but I've always been very strong on the fact I like the DRS and I also like umpire's call. Look at the shemozzle with VAR in football. It's just not like that in cricket. 

Stokes and others like Virat Kohli may want to get rid of it but umpire's call is not there to protect the officials it's there because of the margin of error in the technology," Nasser Hussain wrote in his column for DailyMail.

"Bear in mind, also, there have been a couple of changes in the system and the ball can now clip the top of the bails. 

"The lbws for Ollie Pope and Zak Crawley in the third Test did look high but they have increased the height by 1.3 centimetres," Nasser added. 

The former English captain stated that the one thing he and Stokes agree on is that the footage of Crawley's wicket showed the ball missing the stumps. If such is the case, one cannot have it.
