This is indeed a massive problem. The maths shows it can travel 5-10cms in between frames when a fast bowler is bowling.
Also of a concern is the fact that the ICC nor the company will ever confirm any exact specifics of the technology.
But the killer detail is that a university study questioned both crickets and tennis’ Hawkeye accuracy due to the relatively low frame rates, and requested to directly test the technology against actual deliveries (ie pausing them mid travel and ensuring the outcome matched the prediction), but this access to the technology was refused by ICC and all.

The incriminating thing to me is that in tennis, where the actual event does happen as opposed to lbw shouts, they will NEVER show a slow mon close up of the impact with the court after a Hawkeye decision. They use to all the time, but now they literally never do.
This insures the integrity of the system- by never contradicting it.

We did some maths in the thread during the last game, anything over an estimate of 7cm movement of the ball between frames is a massive overestimate. Considering that's less than the diameter of the ball that's pretty handy.

Is it really a surprise that a tech company don't want to release their software to whoever wants to test it? MIT tested the system a couple of years back using the technique you recommend, which is what resulted in India agreeing to use it.

A one day match is 50 overs, how can a bowler last that long with two different balls on a 5th day wicket?
Dead set lift your game carnts

Never said dump "all" these guys. I was referring to Lyon who has had 3 decent innings of bowling in this series. The rest has been rubbish. Doesn't look threatening at all ona pitch thats turning quite a lot. Overton is playing him with ease.
Yeah Lyons been shit but you still didn't answer who would be better than him
