The 250cm indicates that the prediction has a much higher degree of inaccuracy. Just because it predicts a strike on the stumps doesn’t tell you what degree of error there is in the prediction. The system should give a 95% confidence range. The umpire in the Payne dismissal is wrong to accept the prediction because the system said there was a high degree of error.
Whatever happened to the batsman getting the benefit of the doubt. When I used to umpire you would never give it out when the batsman was well forward because of the doubt that gave you. Surely it is the same if the system says it is unsure. The review system was to stop the really bad decision – in this case it said it wasn’t sure – so how is that a clunker. Certainly shouldn’t overrule the original decision of not out.
The cricket commentors need to be pensiobed off,they mostly had their chance to captain the Australian cricket team. Ian Chapple, Tony Greig,Ian Healy,
Shane Warne the I did on almost every occasion.They also dont need 3 per talk session,.The idea that Australia needs to do something is obvious to everyone,they need to come up with something more constructive,Michael Slater is just a follower if some one puts forward a comment he can reply,Mark Taylot should offer more. or just comment on the play.
Can someone explain how the umpire calling the batsman to contest a decision is fair? If a batsman out but its not called would the umpire call it?
Please can you check if the only wicket to fall (so far) in the English second innings (first test, Brisbane) was off a no ball. North does not ground the heel of his front foot when bowling and I do not think he had any part of his foot grounded when he had Strauss stumped.
Many thanks.
No HD for the Ashes!! Oh how you will regret this decision, Nine Executives. Did you honestly think that Australia’s sport-loving public would accept this? Who is advising you – the Gilmore Girls?
This is the last straw. Have given up on free to air. Have Foxtel HD being installed tomorrow!
This dropping of cricket from the HD channel by 9 is unbelievable. Viewers had every right to assume the continuation of cricket on HD (as in previous years). This was the major reason I went for a HD TV. I used to think only the third world countries continued to show international sport in HD. If channel 9 refuse to show the cricket on HD, Foxtel should be allowed to broadcast the HD version that is being seen by other countries around the world.
Hopefully none of this cricket rubbish will be on GEM
The Cricket is great…You may get some complaints from the old people or housewives about losing their daytime soaps though
Where is the HD Nine ??? We don’t care about the fancy graphics if they are going to be in blurry-vision.
They are getting it in HD in the UK and New Zealand – why not us.
Am so sick of FTA abusing certain sports. If you can’t do it properly in HD, then give it to Foxtel. Senator Conroy – this is exactly why the anti-siphoning list should be scrapped, because its the viewers in this country that miss out !
