Did anyone see the 2 different versions of hawkeye predictions when michael clarke got that LBW...ive always been a bit suss of this things but now im convinced...first version had the ball swinging after it pitched and snicking the off stump where as teh second saw the ball go on straight to hit middle and off... it is a joke!!

Apparently they can apply Hawkeye to which ever camera angle they want and as it was pointed out by one of the commentators last night, not all the down the ground cameras at each end are directly in line because they have to be side by side (unless they mounted* one camera on top of the other or had it one level down!). Given that and the fact they are recording from high up, it would be reasonable to assume there is some "guesstimation" despite how technically good the hawkeye program might be.

Absolutely. Until such time as they can prove that hawkeye is 100% accurate, it must only ever be used as a guide and a form of entertainment. We've all seen those late swinging deliveries that take a dramatic change of direction as it passes the batsman, how in hell can hawkeye judge late swing if the ball has struck a batsman on the front pad?

And we've all seen balls we know were missing leg and hawkeye has it hitting. Batsmen playing back and being hit below the roll, and Hawkeye showing it going over the top. It's a joke, and I pay no attention to it.

Hawkeye is a great inovation.... nothing better to see if it was going on to hit the stumps or if a ball was out in tennis..... to all the knockers .....GGF!!!!!! its the best thing since Hanson Rd....

That's the point though. In the tennis, you know if the ball is on the line because it has landed, but in cricket, you can't be sure if the ball would hit the stumps because it hasn't got there. As for Hanson Road ..... ????

ADELAIDE HAWK did you get naming rights for HAWK eye

AH can you remember a song by Richard Clapton about 1975.
Song was called Girls On The Avenue.
Thats all about Hanson Road.

Right now I'm struggling to walk let alone get onto a cricket field. The Qld health system, a middle class income and a torn cartlidge is a winning combination! I'd still be playing today if it wasn't for my knees as my weight is now down to 95 and I'm off the grog and carp food.

Keep on rolling em out mally.

REB
