Farcical
My main problem with DRS is that it gives the benefit of the doubt to the on-field umpire
If a guy with access to technology included unlimited frame-by-frame replays cant tell whether a split-second decision is correct then surely it should not stand

Quite so. I'm just astonished.Its one thing for an on field umpire to make mistakes, but for the third umpire to do the same after having the benefit of technology is pathetic

Strauss and Trott were both out once or twice caught down legside during the warm up games btw.

Haha, and people want to give the umps more say when it comes to DRS......
I remember when Koetzen made some staggeringly bad decisions as 3rd umpire when DRS was still in it's infancy. Humans make mistake. Old humans make more mistakes.
Robots! Robots! Roboooooooooooooooooots!!!

I don't understand. If there was nothing on hot spot, then how did he adjudge that out?Its one thing for an on field umpire to make mistakes, but for the third umpire to do the same after having the benefit of technology is pathetic

Yeah the sound would be most convincing for me, no spot anywhere on his body either
Nowhere near as wrong as Ajmal where there was clear daylight between bat and ball that a blind bat could see.

DRS says there should be conclusive evidence to overturn an on field umpire call. But what kind of conclusive evidence can one go by other than Hotspot.

I didn't even need Hotspot. The bat was clearly away from the ball at the time the ball was passing the bat on the replay.

The DRS hasn't screwed England.
The 3rd umpire has. He has obviously thought there was not enough evidence to over-turn the decision.
But, imo, if you are going to use hotspot I think you need to trust in completely. Spot=Edge, No Spot=No Edge.

For me all you needed for that and Ajmal's dismissal was the slow-mo. Bat/gloves had daylight between the ball in both cases.
**** hotspot.
