There are two kinds of people in this world...umpire's call and umpire's call call

 

[TheJediBrah]

I would be more worried the errors being made when determining the impact point, which is usually the problem when hawkeye massively ****s up it's tracking. Whether it's an automatic process or being manually done, it needs to be fixed because it's an embarrassment when it happens and even more so that there is no process to "review" the review when it's clearly wrong. Everyone just goes along with the clearly wrong information.

So as he said… it was there basically to sell it to umpires… 0 umpires remain from the pre-DRS era now anyway so lets get rid of it.

So Naseer Husain’s explanation of Umpires call was completely made up

Yep pretty much. You also get arguments for margin of error over the internet.

One big mandela effect it turns out

Suck it @OverratedSanity . Never understood why people still try to argue that the margin for error with hawkeye (even with human manual intervention for certain aspects) is worse than half blind umpires judging in real time. It’s a ridiculous stance and you should feel dumb if you are in that camp.

It’s not perfect but it’s far superior. Relying on a worse method for close decisions makes zero sense.

I can't believe anyone has ever said that, or even though that. I demand proof

always thought that the argument was more like, if it's in the MoE, the call on the field could be correct and so it would be wrong to overturn it, given that a review is a review of the on field decision and isn't a making of the decision afresh

is how i have understood it

why are we trusting the testimony of this guy hawking his product again
