You are right about going wide. Regarding the other 2 options, the equipment doesn't interpret the angle of deflection for balls that would go over, which is a shortcoming. In fairness there isn't anything that can be done about a ball that would hit the post and come back into play. What would have happened? They have to take that as an end in itself.
I never had faith in it. It is impossible for equipment to interpret the last second spin that a player might put on a ball.

.... It is impossible for equipment to interpret the last second spin that a player might put on a ball. Are you sure? I would have thought it straight forward enough? What is far more impossible is to get it to do what it did with Walsh's point. Maybe someone who has a specific as opposed to a general knowledge of this tech can advise us. |

Conor Glass’s earlier effort looked to be a point too. Maybe they should have went back and looked at that too, to be fair and consistent. As well as any other Hawkeye moments from the first half. If I’m remembering the right one, Conor Glass’s shot was over the height of the posts and the umpire called for Hawkeye so wasn’t clear by any means. Was that the one that Eamonn Fitzmaurice and Dara Maloney were discussing? The Hawkeye showed it going over the inside half of the post which is classified as a wide but the Derry crowd cheered before the Nil came up on screen as they thought it was going to be given as a point. Or am I getting mixed up? Yes I think Glass’s effort looked like it might have clipped the inside of the (imaginary) post and gone over. Which was why there was a cheer. Would extending the height of the posts not help with some close calls? It would at least help in sorting out some of them anyway. Some grounds have very small posts. Must be a nightmare for Hurling umpires in particular. |
