They haven't been able to adapt their decision making to the pitch.....mind you I've never had much of an opinion of Aleem Dar as an umpire. Why can't Australian umpires umpire home series now we've got DRS ? We're missing out on some of the best umpires in the world because of this.
Agree...the old batsmen gets the benefit of the doubt theory is long gone, my issue is how accurate is that ball tracker that determines height, decisions where the ball just clips the top of the stumps
should be not out IMO...batsman should get the benefit of the doubt in that case..
Its interesting that Smith was given not out LBW when the ball was judged to be pitching outside leg when a portion of the ball was seen inline but the majority of the ball was out however a batsman can be out when only part of the ball clips the stumps in a normal review where the ball pitches inline.
The full ball should have to be inline and contacting the stumps IMO...
