The flamboyant Australian opener, Aaron Finch failed to impress the team management in the first innings and even in the second innings he only managed to score 11 runs in the second innings on Day 4 of the Adelaide Test. Finch’s dismissal has now become a major talking point in the cricketing fraternity because the Australian opener decided not to opt for a review, even after taking a quick suggestion from his opening partner Marcus Harris.

Finch was dismissed by Ravichandran Ashwin in the 12th over of the Australian second innings. In the wake of Finch not opting to challenge the on-field umpire’s decision, Australia’s premier off-spinner, Nathan Lyon has attempted to clarify the doubts as he supported the batsman’s idea of not opting for the DRS. Lyon said that the review might have not helped the opener.

During the post-match press conference, Lyon said, “I don’t think he was going to get away with it. I spoke to the third umpire and it was out anyway. There was inconclusive evidence to overturn the decision.”

Finch is playing his first Test series at home, after making his Test debut against Pakistan in Dubai in October this year.

Unfortunately, Finch had failed to impress with the bat against Pakistan as well. Further talking about his poor run of form across the format, Lyon said, “Finchy’s fine. It’s been a great learning curve for Aaron. He’ll take a lot out of this first Test match at home and be better for the run.” Australia ended Day 4 of the Adelaide Test on 104 for four, requiring another 219 runs to win with six wickets in hand. At stumps, Shaun Marsh (31) and Travis Head (11) were at the crease, battling it out for Australia to avoid the defeat.
