(Image Source: X) Australia’s tour of New Zealand 2024, NZ vs AUS: Rachin Ravindra escaped a close call on the third day of the first Test between New Zealand and Australia at the Basin Reserve in Wellington as Hawkeye was unable to determine the turn of the ball after the youngster was hit on his toe. After Australia appealed for out, the on-field umpire gave not-out, but the visiting team took a review. When the entire incident was played on the big screen, it became clear that the ball had hit Rachin Ravindra on his toe, as there was no bat involved. Ball tracking technology fails to determine nature of spin Since the ball hit the batsman’s toe completely, ball tracking was done only to check the impact, and it was in line, but the ball missed the stumps, as ball tracking technology cannot account for the nature of spin. Was able to recognize. Hawkeye speculated that it was a straight ball, indicating that the ball might have missed the wickets. The Australian players were surprised to see this, but nothing could be done, and Pat Cummins’ team lost its review. On the other hand, Ravindra (56*) scored a brilliant half-century to keep the New Zealand cricket team in the competition.

Amidst the discussion about HawkEye after Joe Root was given out LBW in the ongoing Test series against India, its founder gave a big statement.
Joe Root was disappointed after being given out LBW in the second innings of the fourth Test in Ranchi. Joe Root (Image Credit- Twitter X) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. So, after English player Joe Root was out LBW in the fourth Test match of this series, there was a lot of discussion about Hawk-Eye and Decision Review System (DRS). Let us tell you that in this Test match held in Ranchi, in the 17th over of England’s second innings, Root missed one of Ashwin’s balls, on which Ashwin appealed, but this appeal was rejected by on-field umpire Kumar Dharmasena. However, after this, on Ashwin’s appeal, captain Rohit took DRS review and in Hawk Eye it was found that some part of the ball was hitting the stump along with the line of the wicket. So after this the on-field umpire’s decision was changed, and Root was given out. So, after the end of this match, England captain Ben Stokes was seen being very vocal about the umpire’s call in DRS and in the cricket world, Hawk-Eye, the technology that helps the third umpire in DRS, got embroiled in a lot of controversies. However, now amidst all this, the creator of this technology, Paul Hawkins, has given a big statement. Paul Hawkins gave a big statement regarding Hawk-Eye Let us tell you that amidst these discussions, while talking on ‘The Analyst’ podcast, Hawkins said – To get an accurate decision, first of all you measure the width of the stump on every day of Test cricket, and then whether the ball is in line or not. After this a straight line is formed. This line is very important (which is outside the route). In tennis sometimes you have zero millimeter margin in or out of the line. But there is a rule in tennis that it is not given out until zero margin is achieved. Tennis we just mark bounce marks for this. But only after showing zero millimeter as 1 millimeter, we will be able to show the impact to the audience. It may sound like a bit of a presentation, but it makes a lot of things clear to the audience. If the ball had not come out after falling it would have been more obvious on TV. So you can see more clearly above the line, which automatically happens when the ball is pitched outside the leg stump. We gave the correct answer as per the rules. But after all this we have an opportunity to improve our presentation and things related to it.
