Really? **** me, that's poor. Out of how many chases is that?

Only problem with that is it's shown it going dead straight on. It was definitely not doing that and it definitely didn't hit the pad before bouncing so it is pretty clear there was an error with working out the intersection point. Once that error's made you make any claims of accuracy you like, they're based on a error.
I'm not arguing against hawkeye - quite the opposite I'm a fan of it. But it isn't fool proof and I'd take a huge amount of convincing that on this occasion it hasn't got it wrong. (though not necessarily the wrong decision, but I think it probably was)

The Ball tracking can get it wrong you know and even some of the makers who make such instruments admit it
.There was no way that the ball was not deviating from the straight at all whatever be the angle, and the Hawkeye should it as if it was absolutely holding its line which isn't true.
If it had been shown missing leg by hawkeye then it would have got interesting, but the right decision was made by the Umpire in this case.

the frame rate of the hawk eye cameras isn't that high so occasionaly they can't pick up where exactly the ball has travelled.

Sounds like in this case the prediction didn't pick up the deviation which would lead to an error. My main point is just that based on the information provided by the Hawkeye manufacturer, probably biased towards their product, the feed we see will often differ from the hawkeye cameras. Hence it's always worth considering that what looks like a different amount of deviation from the TV feed could be the same deviation seen from the perspective of the Hawkeye cameras. As you say its not 100% but certainly has merit.

Yep love it. Just (rightly) saved Clarke. Gets it right far more often than umps so should be mandatory, but the technology still needs to improve to get to 100%.
