12th Match - Afghanistan v Sri Lanka

[Zinzan]

Wow, the umpires decisions on LBWs removes about 20-30% of margin when you consider deliveries just clipping outside leg & off stump & of course on height.

 

[Burgey]

Anyone else reckon Stanikzai looks like Misbah? Expect him to make 96 in a losing cause

 

[wellAlbidarned]

the margin for error of hawkeye isn't that much, this is just ********.

 

[Bleed_Blue]

That is a classic example of why DRS as it's used in the modern game is not a good tool, if the ball would have hit the stumps then it should be out. This "umpires call" buisness is just a cop out to protect umpires, you either go all in with something like this or you don't do it at all.

One feels it has the current application merely to protect minnow nations, who are a blight on the WC and the game in general.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Well **** me, this shows the rank idiocy of the umpires call. If it hits it should be out. End of. That's KOing leg pole.

Been a solid effort here by Afghanistan so far, mind you. If they could cobble together 250 odd it might be interesting

Umpires call is a good rule imo, but the margin for error is too large at the moment for sure.

The argument against that is it is still a predictive measure from the point it hits the pad. I'm not sure if just merely clipping is good enough based on a predictive path, but that last one was more than just clipping, so tough to know what the next tweak should be.

 

[BeeGee]

Good partnership, this. Great stuff.

I'm with you, but how do you we get something between "more than half the ball hitting" and merely "clipping the stump"?

 

[anil1405]

Two spinners taking the ball away from the right handers.

And thats a good shot to get to his 50. Well played Asghar!!!

 

[Spark]

Awesome, now double it.

 

[Flem274*]

Quality knock this

Quarter of the ball?

Part of the ball passing through the centre of leg or off at a minimum seems fair imo.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

good innings from stanky

 

[Zinzan]

This is excellent progress, still can't see anything less than 310 troubling SL on this track against this attack.

 

[BeeGee]

Top knock.

 

[Spark]

The absolute best way would be to have it based on the actual probability margin of error, based on both the point of impact and the "angle"/trajectory of impact, and then just have a threshold percentage above which you say you can overturn. But that's probably rather impractical.

I honestly don't mind the rule as current because it's at least very straightforward to apply. Like I've said many times, trying to impose ever finer levels of arbitrarily chosen detail on rarely works.

Quality knock this

Yeah either would be better than current.

Umpires discretion shouldn't count for as much as it currently does...

 

[Spark]

woah don't do that yet mate

I hear your point I just feel if we take on something like technology we need to embrace it fully,I am also a a Tennis fan and hawkeye has been used there, the reasons it's successful is because even if the ball just clips the line according to hawkeye it's in there is no umpires call, the players seem to universally respect it and know where they stand, the same can't beat said for DRS IMO
