Had the Indian cricket board not been so dead against the Decision Review System, Australian skipper Michael Clarke would have been dismissed for 39 instead of staying unbeaten with 103 at the end of the first day in Chennai.


Tackling India's performer of the day, Ravichandran Ashwin, Clarke inside-edged a deliveryu00a0and the next thing he knew was bat-pad had held on to the ball.


Clarke was given not out by umpire Kumar Dharmasena

ICC's Umpire of the Year Kumar Dharmasena didn't notice the edge and ruled not out. Those who don't support India's dislike towards the DRS will be saying, "serves you right."u00a0
