Hawkeye’s founder Paul Hawkins gave a big statement on Ben Stokes’s statement of overturning the umpire’s call.
At present, there is a lot of discussion about Hawkeye in the cricket world. Paul Hawkins (Image Credit- Twitter) These days, there is a constant discussion in the cricket world about umpire’s call. So, in the ongoing Test series between India and England, the way Jack Crawley and Joe Root were out on the umpire’s call, this issue got further aired. On the other hand, England’s Test captain Ben Stokes had even said that umpires’ calls should be removed from the Decision Review System (DRS). However, now Paul Hawkins, founder of HawkEye, a technology that determines impact in umpires’ calls, has given his opinion on this issue. Paul Hawkins gave a big statement Let us tell you that regarding the technology used in DRS, Hawkins said on The Analyst Show – When ICC was considering bringing DRS, the idea of bringing Umpire’s Call was David Richardson’s, because he was the one in charge at that time. Therefore, in international cricket, the umpire’s call is prepared in such a way that the umpires can be evaluated internationally. But if players are out LBW wrongly then they have got a margin of error in that technique. However, it is up to the umpire whether he marks it (impact) or not. Initially it was a point, due to which it could be easily sold to the umpire. Actually Hawkeye is more accurate than the umpire’s call, but when you use any technique from zero, the umpire’s call matters. Except cricket, in other sports it will be certain whether he will be out or not out. From this statement given by Paul Hawkins, you can guess that there is no problem in Hawkeye technology, but if umpire’s call is to be given importance then margin of error will always be seen.
