The frames are causing to much confusion. Wouldn't it be easier to use the slow motion ones.
How is that in any way helpful to the conversation?Perhaps they can use thermal imaging cameras for runouts too? Heat transfer from grounding the bat and when the gloves touch. There's a lot of places a camera *could* be used.
Sorry, I was just thinking about this at the same time I opened this threadHow is that in any way helpful to the conversation?
If you're going to start pulling people up for sarcasm, you're going to have precious little time for anything else...How is that in any way helpful to the conversation?
Not just sarcasm. Totally unnecessary sarcasm. Sin is the abuse of sarcasm.If you're going to start pulling people up for sarcasm, you're going to have precious little time for anything else...
Yeah, you'll have to work on thatAnd I'm also not everpresent.
Back on topic, this pretty much answers the question posed by the OP...they do only have one as they cost a trillion, if they transfer the one they have to run outs we will loose the great images we have, the positioning of it at the moment is convienient as it shows great pictures and can also be sued to determine whether the ball the the bat etc, leave it where it is unless ur gonna pay a trillion for another
The same reason your city doesnt use Ferarri Modena to do the job of garbage trucks.Why can't they use slow motion cameras for run outs.
But within the bounds of the rules, the decisions aren't wrong as they stand with the present technology. The rules state that if there's any doubt, it goes in favour of the batsman. With the current technology, umpires adhere to the rules and generally give close calls to the batsman. It's a correct decision.I think it's worth losing the "great" images to get a decision right.
It would rule out the doubt and make it perfectly clear the right decision. If it can't be decided at that speed. Then its not out , no question.But within the bounds of the rules, the decisions aren't wrong as they stand with the present technology.

It's impossible to say that most of the close decisions (where it seems only one more frame is needed to tell what actually happened) would be revealed in favour of the fielding side if this new technology is brought in. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And I'm not at all convinced that the present run out replay status is a problem.
In the last couple of series we've been seeing fewer and fewer images of a batsman striking the ball or a bowler's release and instead are seeing more and more crap shots of Lee showing off after taking a wicket or the Australian team in a huddle, so we've already started losing the 'great' images...I think it's worth losing the "great" images to get a decision right.
