Was quoted as saying
Australian skipper Ricky Ponting is not too impressed with the newly-introduced Decision Review System for close dismissals as he feels the innovation has not been able to cut down on umpiring errors in the ongoing Test series against the West Indies.
Ponting said he was left flummoxed when the third umpire ruled West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul not out in the ongoing second Test despite video evidence to suggest otherwise.
"The new system was meant to stop this sort of thing happening but it didn't," Ponting was quoted as saying by 'The Australian' after the opening day's play in Adelaide.
Chanderpaul, hwo made 62 runs, was on 38 when he seemed to have edged one to the keeper but umpire Mark Benson ruled him not out, prompting Ponting to call for a review.
Could you please tell me the meaning of "was quoted as saying"? Also what they mean by "The Australian" here. Thanks.
