Sri Lanka Disappointed no Review System for India

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AFP) - Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara said Monday he is disappointed that the umpire review system can not be used for the upcoming three-Test series with India.
"As a player and a team, we have a mediator for review of the decision system," skipper Kumar Sangakkara told reporters before the Indian series, starting Sunday at Galle in southern Sri Lanka.
Sangakkara said the International Cricket Council (ICC) should seriously consider using the review system on a permanent basis to avoid human error in critical stages of the game.
Under ICC rules, the consent of the host country needs to use the visiting team's examination system, but the Sri Lanka Cricket secretary Nishantha Ranatunga said India had not agreed to this.
"At a high level of umpiring you get things right about 92 percent of the time. Eight percent, but now also important high-level game is played these days », Sangakkara said.
"We are in favor of it. When we checked with India, they are not happy it », Ranatunga said.
Examination system, which has courted controversy, that its implementation was first used in 2008 series between the same teams.
During the tour of India, Sri Lanka carried out a review of 11 successful 2-1 series win, since against the Indian one.
Their return tour to India last year, Sangakkara lamented the absence of review of technologies.
He said that it cost his side "more than 500 reported and many wickets» during the 2-0 defeat. Add to his disappointment that the test systems are used in two series played at the same time.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, however, was premature to insist examination system as a permanent fixture.
"It's still not 100 percent right system," said Dhoni. "Let's wait and see until the ICC from a simple program.
Three-Test series starts in Galle on July 18, before moving to Colombo for the second Test at Sinhalese Sports Club on July 26 and the P. Sara Stadium on August 3.
India are run by fitness issues, with Zaheer Khan and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth and Harbhajan Singh was injured down with fever before the first Test.
Dhoni said Harbhajan should be ready in time for the Tests, but the situation allowed young players to step up and perform.
"It would be a great influence Abhimanyu Mithun and players like Ishant Sharma.
The first Test will be the farewell game Sri Lanka's spin wizard Muttiah Muralitharan, the world's leading taker of Test (792), and one day (515) wickets, as he retires from a longer version of the game.
Muralitharan, 38, just shy of eight scalps in 800 Test wickets and Dhoni that his team will try to make sure it remains that way.
«Murali is a great man. But I think our batsmen did not want to give him a chance to reach 800 wickets during the first Test », Dhoni said.
