Flower miffed with DRS

Durban: England coach Andy Flower on Tuesday expressed his unhappiness with the umpires decision review system UDRS being put on trial in the Test series with South Africa. I cant 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 prefer the old style where the umpire makes a decision and you just get on with it.

Steyn doubtful

Durban: Dale Steyn is a doubtful starter for the Boxing Day Test in Durban. The South African fast bowler was ruled out of the opening match at Centurion on the morning of the game. Steyn will spend the next two days putting in further rehabilitation work and remains hopeful of rejoining the South Africa line-up. Ive got until Wednesday to get it ready, he said.
