Nah, not neccesarily, both snicko and the visual frames are just 1/30 of a second snapshots.

The chances they are precisely aligned is very low, and even then, that snicko "frame" represent all the time of 1/30 of a second, not just an instantaneous moment (ie saying the freeze frame shows a gap - the instantaneous moment of that freeze frame could align with one side of the snicko frame, where the line is flat)

And hotspot has been shown to be non-perfect
Except that the two visions show a gap between bat and ball when they meet. Good theory though.

I understand your point, but the spike was 'wide' and right in the middle of the "next" frame... usually it's within half a frame (e.g. on the left or right of the subsequent or preceding frame)... it doesn't indicate an edge on the previous frame to me...
They only have to be out of sync by 1/30 of a second for this to occur.

Quite literally, if they are out of sync by 1/30 of a second, the spike would be "aligned" with one frame before (or after).

This is an issue with broadcasters still remaining incredibly cheap and not using high frame rate cameras.
The "gaps" between frames haven't changed for 2 decades.

Imagine the definitivness is they used those 4k 1000fps cameras ch9 were using right at the end of their stint (there's no limit to how "small" the snicko frame can be)
 
Linda Lovelace was going on about technology for LBW yesterday.
With the snicko for catch technology he has a point.
If all the technology say not touch, no hotspot, noise clearly after the ball has passed the bat, how can the third umpire give it out?
What is the point of the technology if it isn't used?

I’ve seen some pretty dodgy decisions but that wasn’t one of them. Cummins feathered that. Feathers don’t show up on hotspot and the camera angle was deceptive.
