Yeah good point -- and AFAIK, cricket is the only sport in which Hawk-Eye is used predictively, i.e., attempts to show what could have happened if the batter hadn't obstructed the path of the ball.
Every other sport that uses Hawk-Eye only uses it to show what already happened.
- thisisit 4y agoThat is incorrect. Hawk-eye shows the most likely path in all the sports with 3.6 mm margin for error. The issue is that other sports don't deal with a 50-50 probability decision. In tennis, if the ball is 50% on the line and 50% outside the line it is still "in". That is not the case with LBW decision. If the ball is hitting 50% on the stumps and 50% outside theb both sides can argue their case. So, often it is left as "umpire's call".
