DRS results: Aleem Dar hasn’t had single decision overturned

Updated at: 1129 PST,  Thursday, March 24, 2011
COLOMBO: In all, 162 decisions have been reviewed so far, of which 35 have been upheld (i.e, the original decision has been changed), while 127 have been struck down. Among the umpires, Aleem Dar, Ian Gould and Billy Bowden haven't had a single decision overturned through the DRS. At the other end of the scale are Asoka de Silva and Daryl Harper, with 50% or more of their decisions being overturned. South Africa have used the DRS better than any other side with a success rate of more than 38%. Zimbabwe and Canada, while not matching South Africa for results, have done almost as well in terms of reviews. Ireland impressed everyone with their skills with bat, ball, and in the field, but they'll need to do some work on the DRS - they didn't get a single review correct in 11 attempts, making them the only team with a 0% record. Bangladesh, Netherlands and New Zealand weren't much better.
