CI says this;

"That's drinks and a chance to clarify that slightly confusing review from Rogers. He was given out caught behind, so Rogers reviewed that, replays showed he didn't hit it so he was not out on that count. Having not hit it, they then checked for lbw. Tony Hill didn't give Rogers out lbw so England needed three reds on Hawk Eye to get an overturn, umpire's call meant the decision stayed with Hill so Rogers was not out lbw too."

Could someone PLEASE tell me CI are 100% wrong here.

Surely once the Caught was ruled Out, Hill would have been asked (or considered himself) the question "if there was no edge, did I think it was LBW?".

For all we bloody know Hill could have originally thought "man, that was plumb if he hadn't edged it"...

Once you get that second eye....

If the umpire thought there was a nick then the original LBW decision was not out.

Umpire makes a call.. You can't then go and pick and coose which bit of it to accept.

Go on, surprise me, change your mind.

From the ICC DRS regulations;

"f) The third umpire shall not withhold any factual information which may help in the
decision making process, even if the information is not directly prompted by the
on-field umpire’s questions. In particular, in reviewing a dismissal, if the third
umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out by any other mode of
dismissal, he shall advise the on-field umpire accordingly. The process of
consultation described in this paragraph in respect of such other mode of dismissal
shall then be conducted as if the batsman has been given not out"

Hmmm.. there's the answer.
Even if the on-field umpire thought it was "plumb if there was no edge", it's treated as if Roger's was given Not Out to the LBW appeal.

Not sure if this is the best way to do it.

So the protocol was followed correctly (and clearly the England players did
not know the rule) but I'm slightly uneasy about that one. Caught takes
precedence over lbw as per Law 32, thus the umpire made no ruling on the lbw
rather than giving the batsman not out by that method of dismissal.

I think the not out decision can be justified, but the television graphic
displaying 'Umpire's Call' for whether the ball was hitting the wickets was
not ideal as it rather gave the impression the original decision of out
would be upheld.

Indeed. Precedence seems to have been forgotten somewhat.

I understand the position of 'other modes of dismissal should be considered as if Not Out was given', but only with respect to 'burden of proof to overturn'.

I don't think it's "fair" to assume that the umpire thought all 3 LBW criteria were 'not out', ie;
1) it didn't pitch in line
2) it didn't strike in line
3) it was missing the stumps

That's what seems to have been assumed. I say assumed, as I don't have a clue what was said by the umpires.

I think not-out is clear cut. I would have been upset had he been given out.

It isn't "Umpires call, Out" that is upheld, but "Umpires call, Out lbw" that is upheld.

A: The correct discussion would be, "No edge. Would you have given him out lbw?"
Umpire "He woulda been plumb" -- then DRS decision = OUT
Umpire "Looked like it may have missed; I wouldn't have given it." then DRS decision = "Not OUT".

What would be egregious would be EITHER

B: "No edge. Clipping. Umpire's original call of OUT upheld"
C: "No edge. Clipping. Umpires' original call of "Not OUT lbw, upheld."

I don;t know if the clarifying discussion happened, but if it did, in what seems to be for the FIRST time this series, the umpires worked though an ambiguous situation in the DRS guidelines / methodology, correctly."

But based on track record, I'd guess it was "C" -- the ambiguous guidelines resulting in a fluky correct interpretation.

I listened to two conversations about this incident, one between Gower, Warne and Botham and one between Gower, Hussain and Holding, and I am still not completely clear about what is going to happen when "the rules change in October", which everyone mentioned in both the discussions. Seems to me that DRS actually worked for once in Rogers' case. If the rules indeed change so that when the fielders appeal, the third umpire has to assume that the appeal is meant to cover *all* possible decisions, which is what I kind of gathered from the explanations that Hussain and others provided, then it seems that the rules would be changing for the worse in October, giving an unfair advantage to the fielding side.

Or it may be that no one is really clear about DRS and we are learning more about how DRS works one controversial incident at a time.

I may be wrong, but I always assumed that even pre-DRS appeals covered
all forms of dismissal.

I think the current system is that the third umpire asks the on-field umpire what the decision is: is it caught or LBW? On-field umpire says: Caught, Yes; LBW, No. The third umpire reviews the decision and then conveys to the on-field umpire that the technology indicates that it is Caught No, LBW, clipping the stumps. So since the on-field umpire's call was LBW, No, the decision is not out.

As far as I understand, under the new rules that will come into effect in October, the third umpire will not ask the on-field umpire what the decision is. Upon a referral, he will check whether the technological decision fits any of the possible ways of getting out.

So, under the new rules, Rogers would be given out.

Buddy, I've posted the DRS regulations above. Why don't you read them?

All OTHER modes of dismissal are treated as if the on-field umpire gave them Not Out (for those modes).

At the moment there seems to be no option of saying "if he didn't edge it I thought it was plumb".

I'm sure this will change.

> As far as I understand, under the new rules that will come into effect in October, the third umpire will not ask the on-field umpire what the decision is. Upon a referral, he will check whether the technological decision fits any of the possible ways of getting out.

close...

In theory he will report facts back to the main umpire who will then make a new decision.

In Roger's case, it should go like this;

3rd ump: I've taken a look. Not a no-ball. There was no evidence of an edge, but it did clip the pad. xEye says Pitching In Line, Striking In Line, and Umpire's Call on 'Was it hitting'. Over to you.

Then all the main ump has to do is as decide/remember if he thought it was hitting the stumps.

> So, under the new rules, Rogers would be given out.

Good. This his how DRS should work.

Player: "Hozzat kind sir?"
Umpire: "not LBW, as he hit it first, otherwise he'd have been plumb"
3rd umpire: "he didn't actually hit it"
Laws of Cricket: "an appeal covers all forms of dismissal"

But no surprises you were looking for weird arse logic that makes zero sense and could be dismissed by a drunk, 4 year old parrot.

I just saw the replay for the first time.

Aren't you the twit who insists that the ball has to hit with more than 50% or some garbage due to "margins of error"?

That's a question. What isn't in question though is the fact that you've no interest in having a conversation and can't even come up with your own insults.

Let's take the catch away.. So now we have any other LBW decision where there is an alleged edge.

The umpire does not say "if he hadn't hit it, he'd have been plum", he simply says "not out".

The DRS then rules on the decision. Note that... Not 'The DRS rules on the decision and commentary after the fact'.

In any case, hawkeye shows the ball hitting the stumps with the same cross-section as your intelligence.. It beggars belief that you would be having a whinge about this.

I've never made that particular argument.
This discussion is about improving the DRS regulations, and not about inventing a time machine so that we can go back in time and give Rogers Out.

I'm saying that if an umpire thinks that it would be Out LBW but for an edge, and DRS shows there was no edge, then DRS should take the position that the ump gave it Out LBW with respect to overturning it.

Then xEye comes in... if it's given Out on-field, and xEye says "Out, Out, Ump's call", then the final call will be Out.

This has nothing to do with my general position on xEye (ie that it's MoEs should be confirmed, and the predicition MoE should be variable based on readings).

> That's a question. What isn't in question though is the fact that you've no interest in having a conversation and can't even come up with your own insults.

You're as dumb as dechucka.

I'm saying;

"If the main ump thinks it met all the requirements for LBW (pitching, striking, hitting stumps etc), but is Not Out as the batsman hit it... and DRS shows no edge AND xEye wouldn't overturn an Out decision, then it should be Out".

> The DRS then rules on the decision. Note that... Not 'The DRS rules on the decision and commentary after the fact'.

No shit. And I'm saying the current DRS regulations aren't quite right, and should be fixed.

> In any case, hawkeye shows the ball hitting the stumps with the same cross-section as your intelligence.. It beggars belief that you would be having a whinge about this.

I'm NOT whinging about the Roger's decision itself, but rather the regulations.

Tell me what YOU think should happen in these two scenarios.

Scenario 1;
1. bowler appeals
2. given out caught
3. IMPORTANTLY: umpire says to the bowler (only) "out! caught! if he didn't edge it, he was plumb, too!"
4. batsman knows it hit his pad, refers
5. DRS evidence (Tv, sound, HotSpot) show no edge
6. DRS evidence shows Pitching In Line, Striking In Line, Umpire's call

Scenario 2;
1. bowler appeals
2. given out LBW
3. batsman thinks he edged it, refers
4. DRS evidence (Tv, sound, HotSpot) show no edge
5. DRS evidence shows Pitching In Line, Striking In Line, Umpire's call

why would anything good want to save you.

It was obvious everybody was appealing for caught. Yes a nice change would
be to allow the umpire to say out caught but if not, out LBW. However you
are once again trying to second guess the umpire about what he was thinking.
Same as when you were trying to guess what the umpire was thinking when no
hotspot, clear gap between bat and ball and not change in path/rotation of
the ball led the 3rd umpire to confirm a howler.

I assume you are just trying to be argumentative for the sake of it

There's no such thing as 'appealing for caught'. There's only appealing. All modes of dismissal MUST be considered by the umpire.

No I'm not. How dumb can you be? I'm saying that IF (see the IF here? Do you understand what IF means?) the ump thinks 'it would have been LBW but for an edge', then that's how DRS should treat it. At the moment it treats it as if the ump thought it wouldn't have been Out LBW (ie the opposite of what the umpire thinks)(IF - there's the IF again).

There was no clear gap, and there was a noise as the ball hit the bat. Clearly out, no matter how much you twist it.

The umpire???

When the main umpire refers it the 3rd umpire looks at ALL modes of dismissal, including LBW.

Both you are the DRS assume the umpire "thought it not out". Why are you assuming this?

My question is "what if the umpire though it was Out LBW if it wasn't for the edge (that was subsequently caught)?".

If it WAS plumb, then the DRS would have geiven him out. It wasn't.

It is equally as valid to believe that Hill thought "I believe too high
for LBW, but I believe he nicked it", and what's to say that he didn't
convey that to the TVMO? That is a conversation we are not privy to.

Dechucka, is that you?

I will address your 'equally valid' scenario if you do me the courtesy of addressing MY 'equally valid' scenario. Which you haven't. You've dismissed it by talking about YOUR scenario.

My scenario;
"Main ump says Out caught. I think it would be Out LBW if he didn't edge it. DRS shows no edge".

Your scenario:
"Main ump says Out caught. I think it would be Not Out LBW if he didn't edge it. DRS shows no edge".
Here DRS (xEye specifically) should treat it as if the main ump had given it Not Out, with respect to the burden of proof to overturn.

Over to you...

I haven't dismissed it, I've just postulated that it isn't the only
valid scenario. The point that I made is that we are not privy as to
whether Hill believed that an LBW appeal should be upheld.

Reading the details of the DRS protocol ...

3.3 (b):
"He will initiate communication with the third umpire by confirming the
decision that has been made ..."

.. does NOT appear to mandate that ONLY ONE method of dismissal can be
communicated by the on-field official.

But in this particular case ...

3.3 (f):
"... if the third umpire believes that the batsman may instead be out
by any other mode of dismissal, he shall advise the on-field umpire
accordingly. The process of consultation described in this paragraph in
respect of such other mode of dismissal shall then be conducted as if
the batsman has been given not out."

... so the only inference that can be made is that Hill said "out
caught". And he MAY have explicitly said "out caught ONLY".

But I see nothing in the existing regulation to PREVENT him saying "out
caught on precedence, if not then LBW", except of course that in this
case the result of such a communication would have resulted in a raised
finger.

Finally. After asking 12 times, you answer.

With the current DRS this isn't the case, as it's taken as if he was given Not Out LBW *regardless* of what the umpire might have though w.r.t the LBW criteria.

I think those regulation should change. Or be clarified, as it's open to interpretation what "Not Out" means. But fuck me if I feel confident in being able to explain such esoteric issues with the likes of yourself.

Only 1 person on the planet has to know what the main umpire is thinking - the main umpire. The 3rd umpire reports back facts, and the main ump re-makes the decision.

I think it would be unlikely for an umpire to say "he's Out LBW and Out Caught", mainly as per the Laws of Cricket precedence means you can only be Out one way.

But even ignoring the finer details of the Law...

my entire point is that the main ump SHOULD be able to communicate, or take into account, other methods of dismissal. ie "if he edged it, he's caught. If he didn't edge it he's LBW". The seems entirely fair to me and has been my main point through this entire thread.

Surely even you can understand that I'm no longer talking about the Roger's decision. I've said as much 3 or 4 times. I'm talking about how best to improve the DRS regulations so that the scenario I've described can't happen in the *future*.

I am NOT talking about the Roger's decision, so there's no need to mention Hill anymore.

You see nothing? Not even the bit you posted re 3.3(f)? A batsman CANNOT be given Out two ways. 3.3f means that all OTHER modes of dismissal should be treated as if given Not Out for those modes.

I'm sure this section will be re-written soon.

I think it would be unlikely for an umpire to say "he's Out LBW and Out
Caught", mainly as per the Laws of Cricket precedence means you can only be
Out one way.

But even ignoring the finer details of the Law...

Not especially realistic. If - as in the Rogers case - the umpire doesn't
think the ball hit the pad, how is he going to judge whether the batsman was
hit in line with the stumps?

I don't think he's ALLOWED to say so. Or if he is/does, it's contrary to the regulations.

The regulations say "The process of consultation described in this paragraph in respect of such other mode of dismissal shall then be conducted as if the batsman has been given not out".

> > I think those regulation should change. Or be clarified, as it's open to

There two relevant ways "conducted as if the batsman has been given not out" can be interpreted;

1) The MoE at stumps changes based on the original call. For this treat it as Not Out. The umpire's thoughts on Where It Pitched, Where it Struck, and Did it Hit the Stumps remain unchanged.

2) The MoE at stumps changes based on the original call. For this treat it as Not Out. The umpire's thoughts on Where It Pitched, Where it Struck, and Did it Hit the Stumps shall also treated as if Not Out.


With the former, we can have the situation where xEye would show THREE "umpire's call decisions" and the result would be Out.

With the latter, a SINGLE "umpire's call" means that it will ALWAYS result in a Not Out.

It's almost as if you lose vast quantities of brain cells with each keystroke...

In the Roger's case (which I'm reluctant to mention) it wasn't obvious to HILL that the ball hit the pad. It was obvious to HILL that it hit the bat. He just happened to be wrong.

You can only be "given" out one way. That doesn't mean that
communications on the reasoning for the decision cannot be multifaceted.

Agreed. And I see no impediment to this happening under the regulations
as they currently stand.

> You see nothing? Not even the bit you posted re 3.3(f)?

No. "any other mode of dismissal" can relate to modes not covered by the
on-field umpire's communication to the TVMO. Note the plural "modes",
because I do NOT believe 3.3(b) explicitly restricts it to just one.

Because of your interpretation of the wording of 3.3(b), not mine.

I'm not so sure it needs it. But I Am Not A Lawyer. If you (or a lawyer)
insist 3.3(b) must state one and one only dismissal method, then
certainly, yes fix it.

"3.3 b He will initiate communication with the third umpire by confirming
the
decision that has been made" No reason I can see that his decision could not
be "Out caught if he nicked, LBW if he didn't" How the umpire is told to
interpret the sub section who knows but clarification should be made to
allow that type of comment

<snipped and read the rest, this is my reply>

I think there is, though. It's another poorly written section of the regulations. Surprise surprise.

"2.2 Caught Decisions
In the event of an appeal for a caught decision:
a) Clean Catches
i Should the bowler’s end umpire be unable to decide whether or not a catch was
taken cleanly, he shall first consult with the square leg umpire.
... snipped...
iv. When reviewing the TV replay(s), if the third umpire believes that the batsman
may instead be out by any other mode of dismissal, beyond that initially
consulted upon, he shall initiate the process described in paragraph 3.3 below
as if the batsman has been given not out. This will not count as a Player
Review for the purposes of paragraph 3.5."

Two important sections;
1) "In the event of an appeal for a caught decision"
2) "any other mode of dismissal, beyond that initially consulted upon"

Of course any of these possible flaws could be negated by the "common sense" clause in the pre-face. Does anyone think that's happening? I don't.

Re "In the event of an appeal for a caught decision". That's also in serious need of a re-write.

No. I'm talking with an idiot, who is incapable of rational thought.

How on earth you take "if the umpire thinks ABC, he should do XYZ" as an attempt by me to read someone's mind is totally beyond me. I can't even begin to imagine how you came to the conclusion that I'm trying to read his mind.

because you're guessing what the umpire was thinking. Anyhow we are in broad
agreement that the umpire should be able to refer as ' if x is not out than
I consider the batsman out y' (IF this is not already the sase) this should
be communicated to the batsman and fielding Capt. at the time of the
referral

I've solved that problem.

Of course this thread started with

"Surely once the Caught was ruled Out, Hill would have been asked (or
considered himself) the question "if there was no edge, did I think it was
LBW?".

For all we bloody know Hill could have originally thought "man, that was
