Ben Stokes puts DRS projection at fault: The English all-rounder believes the DRS projection was inaccurate during lbw shout against him.

During the fourth day of the third Test of the ongoing 2019 Ashes series between England and Australia at Headingley, England all-rounder Ben Stokes survived an lbw appeal against Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon.

It happened in the penultimate over of the match when England required a couple of runs to win the match. With a lone wicket remaining, England couldn’t afford to lose another batsman.

However, replays confirmed that the ball would have went on to hit the stumps. The replays once again questioned umpire Joel Wilson’s decision. The same happening at such a crucial juncture in the match didn’t go down well with the Australian media.
