Swann believes DRS absence will hurt his lbw claims

England spinner Graeme Swann has said an incomplete 'Decision Review System' (DRS) in the test series against India will hamper his chances of getting more 'leg before wicket' decisions in his favour.
The DRS will be available to umpires on only 'caught behind' decisions for the four-Test npower series between England and India, which begins on Thursday at Lord's, The Telegraph reports.
"In my opinion it (DRS) has been a great addition over the last couple of years and it works, but the powers that have been decided, we are only using it for caught behind decisions" Swann was quoted, as saying by the paper.
"I am sure in a year or two it will be used across the board for all decisions," he added.
The Lord's clash is the 100th between the sides and the 2,000th in Test history, and Swann wants to relish the occasion of playing against the world's number one Test side.
"We are playing against the number one team in the world and we are striving to be number one. It is the current number one against a team biting at their heels," Swann said.
England will make a decision on the make-up of their XI on Thursday morning, with Tim Bresnan and Stuart Broad fighting for a place in the side. (ANI)
