ENGLAND coach Andy Flower expressed his unhappiness with the umpire's decision review system (UDRS) being trialled in the test series with South Africa.
"I can't say that I am enjoying the review system that much but it is here to stay for the series so we will deal with it as well as we can," Flower said. "I don't like the questioning of the umpires and the delay as players discuss whether or not to question an umpire's decision.
"I personally prefer the old style where the umpire makes a decision and you just get on with it. It was nice and simple but the new system just seems to be leading to more and more complications."
England lost seven of its own reviewed decisions in the drawn first test at Centurion and allrounder Stuart Broad was seen remonstrating with the on-field umpires after being given out LBW following a South Africa referral.
Broad's argument centred on whether or not the home side had taken too long to ask for a referral.
