Veteran Australia opener David Warner was disappointed at the DRS call which went against him during the World Cup match against Sri Lanka and has called for more "accountability" in the system.
Warner was furious after getting dismissed on 11 runs off Madhusanka. The lefthanded opener smashed his bat against his pad and yelled in the direction of Hoel Wilson as he exited.
Warner said he was annoyed with ball-tracking technology upholding umpire Joel Wilson's out decision.
"I've never had Hawk-Eye come in and explain to us how the technology actually works, it's just for the TV. If they could come in and explain to us how it works, then sometimes we might (choose) not to refer or to refer,” said Warner.

Warner admitted he didn't have a go at umpire or anyone on the field, but was instead letting out his frustration with the review system.
"I asked Joel when I was out there just what happened, why did he give it out. He said the ball was swinging back so to his credit, if he thinks that then that's why he's given a decision.
"But then when you see the replay of how it unfolded you get a little bit annoyed, (but) that's out of our control. I just sprayed out loud in frustration pretty much just (to) myself," he said.
"(The ball) kept low and normally when something hits me on the leg on the outside, I know it's pretty much going down leg. So he (Wilson) said it was swinging back, (but) from my perspective on the replay, it wasn't," he added.
The five-times champions Australia will face Pakistan in their next match in Bengaluru on Friday.
