Someone help me?

Why does in Pakistan's VAR check it went for the umpires call as "not out" even though it was the wicket?
The umpire gave it not out on the field so any benefit of the doubt goes to the batsman.

'Umpire's Call' is used when the DRS essentially gives the 'benefit of the doubt' to the on-field decision in case of inconclusive technological evidence. So when less than 50% of the ball is hitting the stumps, excluding the bails, as per the ball-tracking technology, it's the umpire's call.
That's unfair, I keep seeing decisions lost where it says it hits but the umpire got it wrong initially - think it was South africa vs Sri lanka and this match too.

Wonder if it would be better if it was just simple - hit the wicket or not.

Need to get Maxwell out quickly. Can’t let this become a partnership or they’ll race to the target.

It happens a lot but they give some leeway as the technology is never 100% accurate. That's the way it unfortunately.

Steve Smith gone, I haven't seen Smith have a good knock in t20s for a while now, or maybe that's just me. Tbf I haven't seen Warner have a good innings in t20 for a while as well but he's doing alright now.

What a stupid shot that was from Smith especially when warner just hit a six. As class a batter he is, feel he has no business in t20s.

I understand where you're coming from and in the real world that should be the case. However, the technology is still not 100% conclusive so any benefit goes to the batsman.

The umpire has a much higher degree of inaccuracy than the tech, so the rule makes no sense

Okay fair enough

You wonder why that's not the case in football giving benefits to the attacker too.

Crazy Warner's out happened without any noise aswell :eek:

I'm neutral but I feel gutted for him at 49.

Should have reviewed it.

Australia have such an old fashioned way of playing t20 and it’s so annoying that they could win this . You have a left handed in Wade and you know Stoinis struggles vs spin but they still sent Stoinis. Can’t make sense of their decisions at all

Crazy that from Warner, must haven't thought he nicked it, it sounded that way. Unlucky. Think Pakistan win this still though. Maxwell will probably slog a couple sixes to keep it interesting.

Good catch. Fielding has been good today.
