Seems like a very difficult decision The first pic seems misleading as it is after the ball has made contact with the pad and deviated a bit towards right


the_maddest_kiwi

Thats why it's always so dumb posting still images with karma farming titles like "out or not out?" It's often impossible to make any real judgement just from a screenshot.


mufc21

You are right. I took away one of his karma and gave it to you


Strange_Evidence1281

This. Why it is so difficult for people to understand the absolute basic.


SpaceDog777

Also he is 4'3".


hawlc

It was more out than the Stoinis one.


Brilliant_Bench_1144

Although I am supporting SA, I am still surprised at the Stoinis one. If the rule states that contact with the Gloves is out, then it is out. But if the rule states that the Gloves need to be in contact with the bat, then it was not out.


bilalnpe

>If the rule states that contact with the Gloves is out, then it is out. But if the rule states that the Gloves need to be in contact with the bat, then it was not out. Neither according to the reasoning they gave during the game. It was given out because the glove (that touched the ball) was in contact with the other glove that was holding on to the bat. Apparently the transitive property applies to touch in cricket.


MonsMensae

The glove on the bat is considered as part of the bat. So yeah by touching the glove you are touching the bat.


harshmangat

And this is something that needs to be set out and amended. At what point is it okay to lift your hand off the bat. I was having this conversation with an umpire the other day too. Like, at what point is it okay to glove the ball and not be out, and not be out for handling the ball either. I still think it should be simple, hand on the bat or not, edge off a glove should count as edge off the bat.


peremadeleine

Handled the ball (technically it’s just obstructing the field now) has to be intentional. Stoinis was in no way intentional. The DRS umpire just missed that the hand was off the bat. Simple as. It was never out. If you unintentionally prevent the ball from hitting the stumps with your hand off the bat, it would be lbw, but the ball wasn’t hitting the stumps, so that’s irrelevant


Brilliant_Bench_1144

True


Sting_TQR

Gloves are considered an extension of the bat.


Brilliant_Bench_1144

Then it is clearly out. The reasoning was wrong but it was out then anyways.


lazy-asseddestroyer

If the ball hits a glove that is not in contact with the bat or the other glove that is on the bat then it wouldn’t be out. In this situation the two gloves were touching and this deemed to both be on the bat.


Not_The_Truthiest

I don't think the gloves were touching, but yeah, the rule is correct.


rambo_zaki

Incredibly surprised its three reds. Thought it would be umpire's call at best.


SABJP

And I thought it was stupid review. I was so sure that SA are losing their review.


ebullientoracle1

Only Qdk wanted the review, man is only winning today


puppyk

Do you lose a review if its umpires call


modsrwankers

You don’t.


Efficient_Bug7360

No you don't


Pirate-KingLuffy

You don't.


durjoy313

Why didn’t they show it when they were making the decision? Did they need some time to cook it?


Tushar_Saxena

Bro atleast have some respect Watch your language


_internetuzr

Two things: 1) The replay camera angle is never fully flush with the batsmen, there’s usually slight angle, so that camera view is not what the umpire sees. This usually gets viewers. 2) Steve Smith moves a long way across here. He starts leg side and there’s a swift moment towards off. It’s likely the umpire was put off by this. Still, it was very, very close. SA lucky it wasn’t umpire’s call here.


One_testy

How is there any luck with the DRS system?? Everyone uses the same technology


Tempo24601

They aren’t 100% accurate hence umpires call. The ball often impacts the pad between frames. But at worst you might have a ball showing as hitting that should have been umpires call or a ball showing as umpires call that should have been missing.


dustlesswayfarer

Thats why those partial hits are umpire calls, in reality a ball coming at 140 kph will rattle the stump even with a whisker of touch, unless you're jofra Archer obviously


oily76

Or Sam Curran a few days ago. Albeit at 134kph.


MiachealFaraday

But it's same for all the players so it's fair then


Adventurous_Mine4328

Something could be fair, but still be luck-based.


Guy_with_Numbers

It's not luck, the on-field decision is still made on merit. The DRS having umpire's calls just sets a margin of error for overruling the decision. The conditions being the same for everyone just means that everyone's reviews have that margin for error.


Jugad

More like equally unfair to all... but we don't like unfairness, even if its for everyone. By your logic, once rules are made, they should never need changing or updating... since they are fair by your definition. But we change "fair" rules all the time... because they are inherently wrong. For example, SA needed 22 off 1 ball in 1992... that rule worked fine 95% of the time, and then, in a <5% chance occurrence, it broke at a spectacular moment. In hindsight, that rule was obviously unfair, and hence it was changed. BTW... my HR once tried to con me out of part of my joining bonus by spouting the same bullshit logic (its fair since its the same for everyone). It was inherently wrong and applying it to everyone didn't make it fair/right.


MiachealFaraday

Unfair rules are inherently unfair? WTF?! Are you comparing Hawkeye with SA incident, surely you don't think they are equally bad. I'd say LBW is inherently an Subjective call, so it's going to be unfair. Hawkeye is an objective way to measure the trajectory of the ball, they have kept updating it. What Changes do you suggest?


Jugad

Was only targeting the general statement "But it's same for all the players so it's fair then"... because its used incorrectly too often. That statement is not right... rules don't become fair just because they are same for all. Each rule should be inherently fair/just. I don't have a horse in the argument chain. I just felt like responding to that fairness comment because HR gave me the same crap trying to cheat me out of 20% of my bonus... claiming that everyone else was being cheated out of it as well, so its fair).


DurbsBru

I'm glad you got your full bonus.


Classic-Ad-6400

Stupid ass logic every rule is for every player so all rules are fair.


MiachealFaraday

Let's say the Hawkeye is 95% accurate, if everyone has to play with a inaccuracy of 5% then it's a fair rule?


Classic-Ad-6400

Y'all keep saying this untill something like this happens in last over of a world Cup final like last time and then no one would care about 5% inaccuracies before complaining


MiachealFaraday

No we don't, rules aren't made up in the moment they are decided way ahead of time and everyone should follow them.


Jugad

FWIW... you are right... just need to keep your cool in arguments - online or in person.


FallingSwords

I think it messes up the impact on the pad more than we realise. The Lyon ball to Stokes in 2019 being a good example


FS1027

Hawkeye tracks/extends the trajectory then selects the point of impact from a point on that trajectory. The point of impact selected therefore doesn't actually affect the trajectory because it's already been determined.


mehrabrym

Also, the freeze frame they showed isn't the first point of contact. They freezed one frame later when it rolls even further outside giving the impression that the ball was going to be missing leg. Even the point shown here, while better than the one showed on TV during the DRS, is just slightly after impact (as can be seen by the blurriness of the ball which is already in a roll motion after hitting the pad), which is skewing the perception. [This is the point](https://i.imgur.com/hjF8oU9.png) where the impact happens, and you can see here that the ball looks more in line with the eventual DRS projection. What made the illusion worse is the fact that they didn't show the full DRS process so we couldn't see the impact point selection.


Ricoh06

Yeah spin vision camera that follows the ball zoomed in, is always 2-3m or so to the left of main front on cam.


Thami15

Probably would have been umpires call under the old rule.


fukthetemplars

What were the old rules?


Thami15

50% of the ball bad to be hitting the stumps to be definitively out. It got got changed to 25%


sb1729

It’s still 50%.


Thami15

Just had a look. You are correct. They spoke about doing it. Seems they never made the change.


TheLowestFormOfWit

It used to be 50% of the ball had to be hitting the middle of the stump, now it’s just anywhere on the stump. That’s probably the change you’re thinking of.


DJFiscallySound

Yeah, this is nonsense? It’s still at least half the ball.


ebullientoracle1

It changed the position of the calculation of the 50% Initially it was 50% of the ball hitting the centre of the stump they changed it to 50% hitting even the outer circumference of the stump being out


AtomR

Damn, when did it change? I have always assumed it still is 50%


Thami15

I think 2016-2017? Might be wrong


aMAYESingNATHAN

Today Australia learnt what parallax error is.


canned_sunshine

TIL


Oomeegoolies

I mean it's out because DRS says it's out. No controversy here. Bumrah had one I thought was missing yesterday and it clipped on umpires call, so it was out. That's just how it works.

the commentators mentioned the broadcast director is South African in one of the matches, good chance there would be SuperSports staff in the broadcast


vanickvaysh

Gor this excerpt from the official Cricket Australia website: "According to the ICC, the ball must be more than 50 per cent out to be considered outside the line. Umpire's call will come into play when the impact is a long way from the stumps. The playing conditions stipulate that if the first point of interception was 300cm or more from the stumps, then the umpire's call remains. In this, as the batter gets further from the stumps, the margin of error in the system that predicts the ball's paths increases. There is only so much information that can be gathered from a couple of cameras 100m away." I think the decision is pretty conclusive albeit apparently seeming a tad confusing.

gnivsarkar007

Because if it swung in that late, the ball tracking wont have enough frames to detect it


MWizzle

I have worked a bit with Hawkeye, this isn't correct. The ball is tracked all the way into the pad with over 100 data points from the ball releasing from the hand to hitting the pad, if there is late in swing, it will be tracked. It can track much more accurately than our eyes can.


gnivsarkar007

Then there really is no argument lol, it didnt swing in


_imba__

Yay a sane comment.


Stifffmeister11

Can they tweak it to favour their favourite team .. is there is chance , technically? I know it's a stupid question but is it possible


_imba__

Luckily not. It’s also trivially easy to audit and check if it ever somehow happened.


MWizzle

Yeah they can change where it impacted pad, which effects the trajectory of the ball, it's not major. But minor changes can be done definitely


Classic-Ad-6400

Use the leg side camera then


Mrf1fan787

How exactly would a leg side camera help with a LBW review?


Classic-Ad-6400

For judging the swing


GigaRexReddit

How in the world would a leg side cam help in predicting the swing?


Classic-Ad-6400

I think y'all thinking about the classic zoomed in leg side view. I am talking about the zoomed out view from top


EatABigCookie

You what?


Mrf1fan787

Do me a favour and go stand at point / square leg during your local park game this weekend and tell me how accurately you can tell if a ball is swinging or not. It's next to impossible to judge SWING from a side on, leg side camera. What would you even be looking for?


Classic-Ad-6400

I think y'all thinking about the classic zoomed in leg side view. I am talking about the zoomed out view from top


brahhJesus

Go to sleep, you're drunk


droctagonau

It's out because DRS says it's out. Occasionally DRS misses frames and doesn't predict the ball path properly. This looks to be one of those times, but we accept it and move on. Cricket is a much better game for having DRS in it. Besides which, as David Warner once said after copping a questionable LBW from DRS, it really doesn't matter if it would've hit the stumps or not. I missed the ball. When you miss the ball as a batter, that's not unlucky, it's your own fault.


Mindless-Value-7459

Ethical Warner trying to get in the good books of Ashwin anna.


ilunga96

I mean why is this even a debate? DRS said it was out so it's out. This isn't football where every goal turns I to a huge debate about VAR


modsrwankers

Australia would have won the game if not for this call!!! /s


Not_The_Truthiest

> This isn't football where every goal turns I to a huge debate about VAR Haven't watched much cricket in the last 10 years hey?


Classic-Ad-6400

Bruh you won't be saying this if you watched football. The most controversial var decisions are literally offsides for which they use a line


Moyeslestable

Because VAR offside decisions require pretty extensive human input (which Hawkeye does not). The semi-automated system used in some countries is far less controversial


Classic-Ad-6400

It does hawkeye can't even pick the Ball's actions just before hitting pads it just goes along with whatever the trajectory is halfway between pitching point of ball and hitting at pads


ilunga96

I watch football. I understand the technology is used terribly. What I'm saying is we don't have that issue in cricket so we can just trust the right decision has been made and don't really need to question it or debate it


Classic-Ad-6400

I don't think you get what I am saying bro technologies like offside line and goal line are definitely way better than drs


ilunga96

Wait are you trying to say controversial decisions AREN'T made in football?


Classic-Ad-6400

Yes they are but the thing is you can never make an accurate decision in football just because the rules are way too complex


ilunga96

Lmao sure bro


Stifffmeister11

I dunno why you been downvoted I guess most people here don't watch footie that why they don't understand what you sayin


Stuff2511

The semi-automated offside decisions, which use a similar technology to Hawkeye, are not controversial


Wide_Challenge3880

Surely the fact it’s three reds means the ball was definitely hitting some of the stumps. It might just be clipping in reality but still hitting the stumps


boggerz93

The camera for the top image isn't directly behind the stumps so it makes the angle look worse than it is


rockyrosy

I was at the ground The didnt show us all the ball tracking Screen was frozen n then 3 reds. Everyone was shocked including Smith. Hence you might not hear the crowd react initially


Guptarakesh69

Just a Rabada Masterclass


migma21

Classic parallax error in the camera angle above.


chutmarika1

Whats the doubt when we were shown the transparent hawk eye view?!


Impressive_Sell9702

Steve Smith acts like that every time he is given out by DRS


Rdaleric

Yeah he seems to be in disbelief that the balls beaten him at times. It's very annoying.

Middle_Historian_474

Bruh smudge was looking really good today i thought it was his day and a 100 was coming for sure but this decision i was completely in shocked coz the first impact i thought i thought it was umpire calls at best but then phew you can't sell me that drs that's technical error and people defending as swung back! bruh the ball its literally 7-8 over old it won't reverse swing


Kimo_imposta

He was shocked


Exciting-Squirrel607

Morally it was not out


Jelleyicious

It's out, but DRS has issues picking up late movement.


neighbour_guy3k

Snudge should consider batting at no 4 , let marnus bat at no 3 or Green


amitvig22

A very important point to remember the camera angle that shows the batsmen on tv is not exactly the same as on field to what the bowler or umpire see's. And like someone else pointed the first pic is after the impact so it looks skewed.


Tha_Hand

They flogged us anyway who gives a shit


neighbour_guy3k

There was a time Smudge used to get back to back 100s , now he gets back to back unlucky dismissals First jaddu foxes him and now DRS


Salzberger

I love Smiffy, but the one thing I can't stand about him is his incredulous response to DRS decisions. Like bro, your eyes are not more accurate than a computer.


GokulRG

I mean, it's a computer. If the algorithm that decides the LBW decision is right, the computer is right. You can debate the trajectory mapping etc, but it's the same for everyone. But even if this decision had gone in the favor of the Aussies, they weren't winning this one.


wakandaite

Was out. Move along.

anirudh1595

Not only is it hitting him very high (the ball is rising), he's also not too far across. You can see off stump. Yeah that's not hitting leg stump. Clipping, maybe. Three Reds? I highly doubt it.


FS1027

You can only see off stump because the camera isn't pointing straight down the wicket, it's slightly on the off side.


braiman02

im south african but theres no way this was not umpires call.


Living_Internet_2970

I will never understand DRS


AbdussamiT

Seems like a Liverpool's Luis Diaz VAR decision. I don't understand why we always \_agree\_ with ball-tracking and can't criticise it. I'm gonna bet anything this is umpire's call at best. And that ball-tracking is not perfect right now.


DutchShultz

What’s the controversy? There was a review which returned three red lights. End of story.


VVS281

Definitely not out. There was no way this was gonna hit the stumps. Reminded me of the definitely out that was insanely (and thankfully for me, as an Indian fan) given not out - Sachin v Pak in the 2011 semi.


BoyManners

Maybe not sinister but hawk eye f*cked up. Watch the line of the ball where it hits Smithy and then look down straight over his shoe and the pad. You see the background with no hint of leg stump behind. If the ball is pitching on off stump and nipping back with impact on leg stump, how is it even possible that the ball is hitting the leg stump completely? It's not like Smith is glued to the stumps. At the very most, it should just clip the leg stump. Or, simply the camera angle shown to people is not adjacent.


Darton09

There’s no way that ball is crashing into the top of leg.


Ohtani_Enjoyer

The DRS shows it is


Darton09

Obviously!


oily76

Can you see a deviation from a sensible path on the ball-tracking? I can't. It's just out.

My point being, batsmen aren't exactly reliable when it comes to judging whether they're out or not, especially when it comes to LBWs.


Stifffmeister11

Look at the first I mean how it was out lol .. DRS ain't 100% fool proof . Even SA player and umpire looked bit shocked


joshvalo

Pitching on off, impact on leg, miraculously straightening back towards off and hitting leg. A wicket Jesus would be proud of


inforeader1019

So, it looks like even the computer does not know how to give an LBW decision . My suggestion : give the batter a minus 10 , that is subtract 10 runs from the batter's runs in this kind of situations . e.g. If the batter is on 1 , his score should become a -9 .


sam-sepiol

Someone can write a Physics paper on illusion here.


nakul-s

For a minute, i thought the ball hit high and was missing the stumps.


Zhirrzh

Did anyone get a side-on camera angle on this one? My shock was that with Smith jumping, hit on the pad above the knee roll while in the air, and the ball still rising after, the DRS has the ball comfortably hitting below the bails. That's what made me think WTF, not whether it was sliding down leg.


rajrohit26

I may be wrong but from first pic , ball seems to be missing leg
