3 Instances when the usage of DRS went horribly wrong

#1. Nathan Lyon (Australia vs New Zealand, 3rd Test at Adelaide, 2015)

The howler to give Lyon 'not-out' changed the game completely

Australia came into the third Test at Adelaide holding a 1-0 lead. The Test was a day-night affair and had everyone on their toes throughout.

However, in Australia’s first innings, there was a moment of controversy which would arguably go down as the biggest DRS glitch of all time.

Lyon seemed to have edged a sweep onto his shoulder before the ball was pouched by a New Zealand fielder. The batsman himself thought he had nicked it yet the two men who mattered, namely S Ravi (on-field umpire) and Nigel Llong (3rd umpire) thought otherwise.

After New Zealand asked for a review, the Hot Spot showed a clear impression on the bat. Llong then proceeded to watch a host of other angles including the Snicko, which showed no spike.

To cap off the worst sequence of five minutes in recent memory, Llong was provided with a different replay altogether when checking through Hawk Eye.

Eventually, Llong advised Ravi to uphold his on-field decision as he felt the mark on the bat could’ve come from anywhere.

Yet, without the pad in close proximity, the only thing the bat could’ve hit was either the ball or probably a little wasp buzzing around.

Whatever went down on the day in question, it was definitely the worst use of the DRS by quite a margin.

And the Daryl Mitchell decision today just brought those infamous images flooding back.
