In some cases specially with Spin bowling ,Hawkeye has showed some really bad tracks of what the bowl would have done.

This is a bit of a joke. I'm going to struggle to even congratulate India on it, which is harsh on them too because they were favourites even beforehand and have bowled quite well. It's like they've been robbed of the opportunity to win the match fairly.

How do you know what it would have done?

True.
No way it was going gun barrel straight.
Hawkeye is wrong many times in terms of swing and spin.

I see the cricinfo commentary is pretty scathing on the umpires...

Harbhajan Singh to de Villiers, OUT, 86.0 kph, Harbhajan has struck the second big blow of the morning and AB de Villiers has been adjudged lbw. Controversial as they come. Harbhajan tossed this up on off and middle and got it to bite and straighten. AB was forward, but struck around the knee in front of the stumps. Replays suggests that was going over the stumps. The way AB played at that made him look plumber than he should have been - he reached forward instead of front and across and played inside the line. It struck in front of middle. AB is not pleased at all. India are on top here.

Khan to Boucher, OUT, oh my, that's a poor decision from Davis. Things are not going SA's way this morning. Zaheer lands one back of a length on middle and though that straightened a fraction, it was still going to miss off stump. Easily. Boucher was in the crease as he tried to angle it square and it thudded into his pad a smidgen outside off stump. And it was heading further away from the line of the furniture. Umpire Davis did not think so. India's insistence to not have the UDRS might have earned them a wicket here.
MV Boucher lbw b Khan 1 (12m 6b 0x4 0x6) SR: 16.66
It's pure insanity they don't use the UDRS in every test match, laughing stock tbh.

One or two more bad decision and this is Sydney-esque. India should never have lost that series or at least that match, but if SA get one or two more bad ones, I'll treat this the same way.
That didn't excuse India for collapsing to Clarke then, and it doesn't take credit from the Indian bowling here, but unfair is unfair.

Where and when was that?
And how did you figure?

You could call it BCCI's stubbornness and stupidity. That'd be better. Indians, like myself, actually hate these bad decisions.

Can't find a example at the moment.
But in a case the batsmen is given not out but the hawkeye says it is hitting the stumps ,then there have been cases where after calling it marginal the original decision has stood ,due to uncertainty.

Yeah but that doesn't apply when it's missing the stumps. If it's missing the stumps it's not out and that's that.
