ljkeane Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Another controversial decision review. Odd one, it doesn't look like he's hit it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Winged Shadow Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hmm i don't get the Khawaja decision. It seemed not out, but....i don't know. This DRS is getting more and more confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I wonder how big the bribe the third official has received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I get that you need evidence to overrule the on field umpire and hotspot isn't enough evidence on it's own but the pictures clearly showed he hit his pad and not the ball. Just a bizarre decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 At this point, I'm rather curious about that myself (I'm guessing two cans of Carlsberg and a pink feather boa.)Or how much pressure there is to not overturn field calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arya_underfoot Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The DRS is nothing short of laughable. What a totally useless piece of shit!! Clear gap between bat and ball, no deviation on ball passing bat, no hotspot and noise before ball reaches bat. But it's out because, ONLY because, the onfield umpire initially called it out. What a stupid, stupid system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 It's not the DRS (the technology) that's laughable. The main problem is, as they say, "between the seat and the keyboard." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ljkeane Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've got no problem with the benefit of the doubt going to the decision of the on field umpire, it's a review of those decisions not a whole new call and that's the way it should be. However when the evidence does show that decision is wrong, and I'm not sure how much more evidence there could be an edge was called wrong, the third umpire needs to make the right call.

The main problem is, as they say, "between the seat and the keyboard."It is sort of a problem with the technology because it's only trusted to a limited extent. It shouldn't be used if it can't be trusted to overturn an umpire's decision. There's no point having a DRS that is only there to affirm the umpires's decision regardless of the evidence.

delete this account pls Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Well, at least the umpire initially gave it out, so even without a correct DRS Khawarja would still be gone. Poor kid. He was so confident too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point having a DRS that is only there to affirm the umpires's decision regardless of the evidence.But that's not a problem with the technology (which is running at 95% accuracy, no matter what the meatbags call on-field or on review). It's a problem with the umpires. So, perhaps it's time to fire any umpire too stupid to handle slow-motion cameras and too weak-willed to risk the ire of the on-pitch umpire?
