I dispute that - it pays no heed to the overhead conditions etc (ie how much the ball is moving in the air) - only assumes the ball will continue in a straight line after pitching.

Anyone who's seen the amount of after pitch movement over here would see that Hawkeye ignores all that.

hawk eye is just a guide, the third umpire can give several decisions just by looking at 2-3 replays of the decision. for example balls pitching outside leg stump can be determined on the first replay. certainly you dont think that this is less accurate than an umpire making his decision in real time do you?

It doesn't. I was just wandering because the series is over and so therefore it isn't really relevant anymore but i spose if ppl can still find stuff to talk about it then thats fine

What, hawkeye?

In which case I do, because it is predicting something based solely on mathematics, and doesn't take anything else into consideration.

im not talking about hawkeye, im talking about just an ordinary video replay, from which you can detect a lot more than you can in real time.
