Lbws umpires call

[halba]

Should it be done away with it. What's the point of objectivity of Hawkeye if umpires call is required?? Just saw starc's lbw not given.

Imho batters should be given out if it's even clipping- their fault getting beaten.

Agree this is silly. Technology all the way.

Keep it.

One marginal decision - Say half of the ball hitting the stump, half of the ball pitching ouside leg or half of the ball hitting outside off - umpires call stands
More than one such events - not out, as probability of actually being out goes down drastically.

People who complain about umpire's call usually don't understand umpire's call to begin with

 

[cnerd123]

Also this poll is bad. Options don't fit the question

Just do away with umpires altogether would make the game a lot more pleasant

Hawkeye is not objective. It sucks more than people want to admit.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Hawkeye has had some real howlers where it's clearly wrong, usually when there are multiple impact points in close succession

But it's still 100x more accurate than umpires

 

[Stefan9]

I trust the tech 100% more then I trust umpires so I see no need for umpires call.

 

[Coronis]

Nah don’t take out the human element.

 

[Line and Length]

What ever happened to the benefit of the doubt going to the batsman? Too many decisions going on an umpire's call when it is barely shaving a stump.

 

[Ashes81]

I think I'd keep things as they are except if there's 2 umpires calls in the same appeal, its not out even if the onfield decision is out.

 

[TimAngas]

I think keep it, and if the technology has progressed in the last 10 years so that the margin for error has decreased, then it can be given out with less of the ball projected to hit the stumps. Are you really telling me we are using the same product from 10/15 years ago? If technology has progressed and Hawkeye has new error analyses, it should be reflected in the rules.

The only thing that still bothers me is the umpire’s call on impact. It’s either in line or not.

Everything in cricket was better 10-15 years ago - the batsmen, the bowlers, the keepers, the pitches, the fielding, the technology. Wish I had a time machine tbh.

Find me it in the laws, then we can talk.

It's because the compressibility of the pads and the fact usually the batsman is moving means ascertaining the point is impact is not so easy.

Also the camera position are not that exact to the line, right?
