After that precis from Simon Hughes on TMS,in the spirit of the other Simon Hughes I've come to the "difficult decision" that DRS is a bit pants really. Hotspot being skewed by the bat itself often being hot?!
and here it is again..
Survives..
seen snicko there, thats a nick from warner. doesnt hit shoulder or helmet
Genuine suggestion that it could have been a wind deviation caused by the shot taking the heat off the display. This is getting plain bloody stoopid. Beginning to think only Hawkeye and video should be used.
Isn't it time they used Snicko? I mean not on its own but when it backs up something shown on HotSpot or whatever, like both of them have to be suggesting the same thing for any decision to be made/overturned.
The problem with introducing technology to a place where it hadn't often been used...nobody really knows how to best use it. I'd be third umpire, how hard it can be? Well very if I follow the directives by the ICC I guess but just let me make the decisions ad-hoc.
the hotspot inventor said it misses fine edges of fast bowlers, so with that case just now. snicko shows a noise, nothing on helmet, shoulder but hot spot misses it. its not good enough
