go the SUPER INTERNATIONAL CRICKET styles.
Could release the ball at any stage of your run up......bang-bang on the x button before he's even started his run-up.

Howzat-howzat-howzat-H-H-HO-HHHHHHHH-HOWZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
Those legendary Australian openers B. Aitken and J. Haliday would not fall for such a strategy.

The one thing that I hate about LBW is this who Umpires Call thing. I know the track is not definite ans is estimated, but being hit on the leg impedes the ball path, so if there is any chance the ball was going on to hit the stumps, or dislodge a bail or something it should be out.

Not in DRS. It has a "margin for error" were more than 50-60% (I forget which) of the ball must be hitting the stumps to be considered out.
50%
I would hope they can get that margin of error down in the future. Having 49.99999% hitting a stump to be given umpires call is a bit too conservative.

It is used as a margin of error and to give more credit to the umpires
