They already made up for the Khawaja f**k up though. Smith was out at least 3/4 times!

Nothing wrong with the system per so (though I do think this percentage-of-ball crap is nonsense: if it pitched in line and would have hit it's out, end of). The umpiring all round hasn't been any good this series. Many of the top umps are English or Aussie and maybe one from each country could share the third ump job or something.

        but the LBW path of the ball decisions are the ones with doubt involved (Other Sports) - phrankin, Aug 3, 18:10:44
        
        In theory you're bang on. (Other Sports) - Old Man, Aug 3, 18:11:31
        
        But that is not the system itself, but a useless umpire. (n/m) (Other Sports) - phrankin, Aug 3, 18:13:11
