The review will only consider wkt to wkt video for LBW. The ball must be in line with the wicket. If it's not, no need to look at the projected path.In both review cases yesterday ball would have hit the stumps (Asif's inswinging balls) but the decision was turned over because last frame when ball hit the pad was not infront of the wkt.Batsman all over the world will have a look at this and make a concentrated effort that as long as they are outside the line of the wicket they will be safe.
Mccullum LBW yesterday which was reversed would be given 7/10 times by the onfield umpite imo..Also 25 frames per second means tha the 3rd umpire had to freeze the frame before the ball hit Mccullum pad this is another drawback I feel.
Still sitting on the fence with it, the game is so much batting dominated if this keeps happening continously it could be another nail in the coffin for the bowlers.
