Lucknow:<\/strong> Leading batsman Marnus Labuschagne expects that Australia will ask the ICC to clarify two DRS decisions against teammates Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis that compounded further a heavy defeat from South Africa in their World Cup match on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

South Africa made late and seeming speculative referrals after Smith was given not out lbw to seamer Kagiso Rabada, and after Stoinis was declared not out to a leg-side wicketkeeper\u2019s catch, also from Rabada.<\/p>\n

To the naked eye, the ball to Smith appeared to be veering to leg. And when Stoinis tried to glance Rabada, a blurry replay seemed to show the ball had brushed a glove that was not holding the bat handle, which would be not out.<\/p>\n

But third umpire Richard Kettleborough overturned both, stunning the Australia pair and seemingly taking even the South Africans by happy surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was certainly confusing and I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll seek clarity,\u201d said Labuschagne. \u201cIt\u2019s a World Cup. We don\u2019t want small decisions that can be avoided to change the outcome of the game. In our situation, it\u2019s hard to say it was going to change the outcome, but for the future, you certainly want to make sure we get them right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s situation is that at Stoinis\u2019s dismissal, Australia were 6\/70 chasing 312 to win and the game was up. Labuschagne persevered to top score with 44, but its only effect was to reduce the effect of this defeat on Australia\u2019s net run rate.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne said that when onfield umpire Joel Wilson gave Smith not out, he congratulated him on the decision.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom front on, it looked like it was going down leg straight away. I said to Steve, \u2018I don\u2019t think it\u2019s close\u2019. I felt like the angle was pushing down leg.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt looked like it must have hit him on the leg and then almost straightened onto the stumps. It wasn\u2019t what it looked out there, but I can\u2019t argue with technology \u2013 or not right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Stoinis, Labuschagne said: \u201cIt looked to me like his hand was off the bat [when] it hit the glove. It looked like there was clear daylight between the two gloves and the handle.\u201d He and Stoinis asked umpire Wilson if Kettleborough had checked the side-on vision. He had.<\/p>\n

Labuschagne said the pitch, which had been benign when South Africa batted in the afternoon, had perked up under the floodlights in the evening.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve faced two polar opposite extremes: heavy spin conditions against two of the best spinners India\u2019s ever produced, and then here, against the seaming swinging ball against a team that\u2019s very good in those conditions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt certainly felt like conditions were nipping around, it was quite [a] steep bounce out there. And we probably saw right at the back end there that the dew really came in. It probably played a part, but we didn\u2019t have any batters left. We just lost too many wickets early.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia has also been uncharacteristically sloppy on the field, in this match missing six chances and half-chances. It\u2019s been a long year, but Labuschagne refused to use weariness as an alibi.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe certainly have played a lot of cricket, but I\u2019m not here to make excuses,\u201d he said \u201cWe\u2019re playing the World Cup for Australia. We have to be ready. We have to be better than that. We\u2019re one of the best fielding sides in the world, we pride ourselves on that, and we just didn\u2019t seem to get it right today.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople are down, but we also know we\u2019ve got a job. The reality is you can\u2019t sit and sook in the change room. We\u2019ve got to take action. We\u2019ve got to get our tournament under way. In three days time, we\u2019ve got Sri Lanka here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason Australia have won the World Cup five times is that we play well under pressure. We haven\u2019t started well, but this is the beginning, not the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
