Flawed Aussie technology or poor umpiring? KL Rahul's DRS controversy explained

India Today  

The Test series between India and Australia has often been marked by controversial moments. The Real-Time Snickometer showed a spike as the ball passed the bat, but the angle made it unclear whether the sound came from the ball hitting the bat or the pad. Surprisingly, the third umpire did not ask the broadcasters to roll through the footage further or check for a second spike to confirm that the bat made contact with both the ball and the pad. Veteran broadcaster and live cricket director Hemant Buch highlighted flaws in the technology's use, particularly with Virtual Eye, which is employed in Australia. Virtual Eye, developed in New Zealand, functions similarly by using high-speed cameras to generate a 3D model of the ball's trajectory.
