Half the ball wasn't hitting the stumps, apparently the bails are NOT included which both Dirk Nannes and the other bloke couldn't understand. Based on the picture above I think the ABC got it right as far as their interpretation.
Correct, the black line near the top of the stumps is the guide - 51% of the ball must be below that black line to be out.
Is what it is, DRS isnt perfect - either
we accept it for its flaws, or go back to umpires calls.
Good Call.
The game isn't perfect, so why do we expect the umpiring either live or with technology to be perfect.
Same with goal reviews in the footy....... we want perfection, in an imperfect world.
The beauty of sport, is in the interpretation.
Bradman was never given out on review, yet the game flourished.
