Some Facts -

Root bats for DRS in T20Is
The fallout from the umpiring errors during the second Twenty20 International (T20I) of the three-match series continues as Joe Root reiterated England's desire to have the Decision Review System (DRS), currently not used for T20I matches, in place for the shortest format.
Root was on the rough end of a poor decision during the game in Nagpur, given out LBW in the final over when well set after clearly getting a bottom edge to the ball and England also felt Virat Kohli should have been given out LBW in India's innings after Chris Jordan pinned him in front of the stumps.
Even if England should have won the match anyway - they needed 32 off the last 24 balls with seven wickets in hand - in a close game, such decisions clearly have a very real impact as to who wins the game and has sparked a debate as to why DRS is not used in T20I cricket when it is routinely used in both Test and One-Day International (ODI) formats.
Speaking ahead of the final match of the series in Bangalore on Tuesday (January 31), Root said: "Is it time now for some sort of DRS in T20 cricket? I know you want to keep the speed of the game but with it being such small margins and so important for us to get things right.
"With bat or ball, if you miss your yorker you go out of the park - it's just as important to get the right decisions from the umpires as well. It would be quite nice to see maybe even one review for either side. But we are where are with it at the moment.
"I'd like to think it will get raised anyway by a few different members but I'm not an official of the sport, I don't know what's best for the game, I'm only offering an opinion. I can't speak on behalf of the rest of world cricket or even for the rest of my team. It's just something I believe in and I'm sure there are others out there who will agree with me."
England's assistant coach Paul Farbrace was frustrated enough with umpire Chettithody Shamshuddin's performance, at fault for both Root's dismissal and the non-LBW of Kohli, to have words with him at the end of the match and captain Eoin Morgan did little to hide his displeasure in the post-match press conference. England asked for Shamshuddin to be removed from duty for the match in Bangalore but the request was refused.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) may have to review umpiring schedules in light of Shamshuddin's mistakes. He umpired the ODI between Australia and Pakistan in Adelaide on January 26th and then was back in India on Sunday (January 29) to officiate in the T20I. Whether it was tiredness, pressure or just a couple of old fashioned howlers, is it any wonder that he wasn't at his best?
