Christ that is the faintest of edges.....

I'm always leery about decisions based solely on a slight noise to be fair. But going with the umpires call is fine, it's when they overturn based on evidence like that I don't like it.

Thank god for the all-Australian combo of Aleem Dar and Marais Erasmus....wait.

You're a whining petulant bandwagon turd.
Why is he a bandwagon turd?

Geez some of you Aussies can't have a convo without abusing the opposition.

Where's Haynetrain FFS. I miss his wit.

I will say this: how often do hotspot and snicko contradict each other?

So often that one or the another need to go.

No point having two forms of technology that often say the opposite.

Because unlike yourself the bloke has been nowhere when England are struggling and giving it to all and sundry like a broken septic pump when they're going well...?

If you're going to dish shit out at least be around to cop it back.

Like I said, no issue if they uphold the umpires call based on that. But I wouldn't be happy if Woakes had been fired with a not out overturned based on that evidence, as we've seen too often for my liking.

I'd like to see for an overturn you need both to demonstrate evidence of an edge (for an original not out) or both to show zero evidence (for an out decision).

Hotspot showed nothing, whilst snicko did - inconclusive, decision stands

That is literally how all forms of DRS work in any sport where a review system is used
