bumrah in the zone

Haha, I thought it was plumb, just as plumb as Pope's was. Sunny G is talking nonsense here.

I mean, I think Reiffel seems obviously biased against giving decisions towards India this test, esp. since day 3 but blaming DRS is just what unravelled this Indian side back in RSA in the first place.

DRS sometimes has ones that you scratch your head at.

But both Rahul and Pope ones are it doing exactly it's job.

Seen people crying about the Root one yesterday, but was enough doubt on that first view. The commentators barely reacted to it and apart from Siraj the review seemed a bit low key. Then umpires call is a ICC directive to give onfield umpires authority over the technology.

Albeit when you saw more replays of that it looked like 3 reds.

 

[jaydesh]

Well no they didn’t. It was the morning of day 1 @ OT that they abandoned ship. I had tickets ffs.

Sorry, remembered the wrong test. I think it was the Oval where they one their 2nd test.

I think the Root one is a good example of the headscratcher you talked about. Rahul was pretty plumb as long as he did not hit it, which to be fair to the umpire, it did look like he had when watching live.

 

[slowfinger]

does DRS accuracy reduce the less distance there is between the ball bouncing on the pitch and the ball striking the pad? Surely the deviation off the pitch is less accurate the less data there is between the ball bouncing on the pitch and striking the pad....

I disagree he was batting out of his crease. So point of impact was further forward and thus didn't hit leg as flush as it would have on the DRS if he'd been back in his crease.

I just mean I've seen ones where the ball trajectory goes completely rogue.

I recall someone getting hit on the boot on the full maybe in the India/England series last year and it had it going over the stumps like the ball had actually pitched.

Which Indians fans are still here watching this misery

 

[RightArmMystery]

That was a wild one from Woakes

India is ahead, 65-35 in favour of India me thinks

 

[cnerd123]

It's really odd btw why England has been harder for India to do win in than Australia.

I think it's because we keep coming here after a big white ball schedule

 

[Daemon]

Bumrah’s playing more deliveries than Jadeja, not sure wtf the latter is thinking

This is weird batting. If it was the third session I could get it, as it is I just don't see how Bumrah and Siraj can survive for that long. Think Jadeja needs to go for it rather than just block.

 

[Kirkut]

After the ball bounces, the camera captures its position at multiple points to track the trajectory. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Are you talking about cases where there's a shout when the ball hits the batsman before bouncing? I mean I guess that's technically a loophole, but how many times out of a million is it going to happen that a batsman gets struck on the full, and the ball would have ended up bouncing OVER the stumps and missing only due to height?

I didn't get your 2nd para.

What I presumed here is that certain algorithms are fed with videos (datasets) that show how the ball behaves after hitting certain types of pitches. And once the algorithm is trained with enough datasets it is deployed to the actual game where the hawk eye predicts the bounce based on pitch texture.

Anyways, as accurate as the Hawk Eye is it will always show you the estimated path of the ball. Hence I believe that 50-50 decisions should be given in umpire's favour where you are valuing his experience more than tech data.

**** off Jadeja

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Gambhiring should be banned after a certain point. There's no use now

Always maintained it's a terrible practice, at any stage of the game. Don't **** around with the occult, you never know what you let in @honestbharani

True. Getting the actual Gambhir as a coach is our punishment

 

[Shri]

any indian still watching is a sick ****

Hey with great power comes great responsibility. Not everyone wields it as well as I do, tbf.

 

[Kirkut]

Now that we are losing this. What should be our bowling for the game at Old Trafford?

Should we go with Bumrah in the next game and a spin heavy attack at The Oval?
