Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3582704, member: 9052"] Have just seen the Head wicket for the first time and that was a pretty shit call too... right arm around the wicket and you can see Head's middle and off stump. For an LBW is the umpire meant to adjudicate whether the ball is only required to be clipping the stumps to give them out or is it more that the seam should be hitting the stumps? DRS had it just clipping leg stump, but that seems very harsh to be giving out. With DRS being around for so long now I kind of see LBW's as needing to be that half ball requirement (i.e. the seam of the ball) to be better than umpire's call as far as giving it out, especially when it comes to pitching outside leg or hitting in front of off stump, but in reality the ump might be very trigger happy and ready to call it out as long as it meets the absolutely bare minimum of requirements i.e. fractionally inline and then clipping the wickets.
