Ricky Ponting slams Lyon and Starc for not using DRS

Australia v India - 4th Test: Day 4

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting was extremely unhappy with Nathan Lyon and Mitchell Starc for the body language they displayed after getting dismissed against India in Australia's first innings of the ongoing fourth Test.

He felt that both of them should have gone up to the third umpire.

"That (Lyon's) dismissal actually says a lot to me about the mindset of this Australian team at the moment. There's no desperation there whatsoever. Why wouldn't they have had a look at that? They've still got the two reviews up their sleeve. There had to be some sort of doubt in that," said Ponting to the host broadcaster Seven.

"Given out straight away and Mitchell Starc just puts his hand out and says 'oh well, it's not me, it's up to you to make (a call)'. Well, unfortunately, when you're out there together, it's a partnership. You've got to do whatever you can to try and save your mate. And there was absolutely none of that there. And as it's shown already that would have been given not out. Slack and not desperate enough," he continued.

India are well on top in the fourth and final Test and will hope to bowl Australia out to win the series 3-1. Australia, on the other hand, will hope to save the Test.
