Yes it most certainly is. DRS extrapolates the swing & seam, from the path the ball takes between when it pitches and when it impacts the pad. The only times when it doesn't is when the ball strikes the batsman on the full, or when the distance from pitch to impact is really short (e.g. a yorker).DRS is not designed to predict swing.
Don't confuse the team's performance with CA's performance. The latter impacts on the former, but the two are not the same.At least CA was some what better last night

They frequently show simulations to demonstrate how far the ball has deviated. They show the ball's original path, including spin/swing/seam, and the trajectory of a simulated ball pitching at the same point, without any spin/swing/seam (gravity still applies).
Besides which, the red line drawn on that image doesn't even pass through the centre of the ball, either on the pitch or at the point of impact. Anyone drawing conclusions from that red line is an idiot.
There is no deviation in the predicted path, from the point where the ball pitches, to where it impacts, to its predicted impact point at the stumps. It's one smooth curve, as you'd expect from DRS, which just extrapolates the ball's trajectory from pitch to impact.Oh Mr Vader...
It will not predict swing that isn't evident prior to impact. The blue line deviates to the right immediately after the point of impact - that's not swing. Further, when I drew that red line, I zoomed the pic in substantially. It runs from seam to seam. But you're missing the point (as usual) because what it does is highlight the deviation evident in the ball tracking following the point of impact.
Quite simply, it is impossible that the ball follows the path ball tracking says it will. 100% impossible.

Let me repeat. There. Is. No. Deviation.

I'd like to change the common vernacular of 'Hitting Rock Bottom' to 'Hitting Brett Burton'. I feel like most people would agree hitting rock bottom would be an improvement from hitting Brett Burton!We are.
At least the Aussie cricket team has acknowledged problems, rolled some heads and is now regrouping.
We haven't hit bottom yet.
I understand it's a 2D image of a 3D scene, but it sure as hell looks to me as if the path after the impact (blue) deviates slightly from the pre-impact path (white), notwithstanding the slight drop in z axis.There most certainly isn't. It's a smooth trajectory.
Yeah I get that, but it's the immediate deviation following impact I noticed. Anyway, as I said above, happy to move on, it just caught my attention.A straight line in 3D space with gravity makes no sense whatsoever. Balls don't bounce up in straight lines.

Yeah agree, but my initial impression was that it seemed too much to be z axis. Anyway Im sure it's just my brain misinterpreting the imageI think you could only draw that straight line if the camera was positioned down the path of the ball, so directly behind the bowler, not the stumps.
As the camera position is skewed relative to the x-y trajectory of the ball, it's not clear whether the deviation you've shown with the straight line is caused by x-deviation or natural z-deviation due to gravity
If you have a look at the white path, you can see the swinging. DRS is just extrapolating and continuing that swing. If the ball was travelling in a straight line then it would have hit the stumps, but it's clearly swinging from left to right (when viewed from front on). It's a smooth arc, from white to blue, so I don't see any problem.I understand it's a 2D image of a 3D scene, but it sure as hell looks to me as if the path after the impact (blue) deviates slightly from the pre-impact path (white), notwithstanding the slight drop in z axis.

Happy to say it's just my eyes, but it stuck out for me enough to comment.
CA is still a disaster zone, and I present as evidence their latest plan for the JLT series, in which they have eliminated the "Cricket Australia XI" team. The CA XI is designed to fast track junior talent, whose career path is being blocked by older players at the state level (a problem which didn't exist before the era of professional full-time cricketers
They need to fix the Academy, which worked brilliantly in the 1990s - until they basically dismantled it. There's a reason why our team from the 2000s was so great - they all went through the best cricket finishing school in the world. Now, to all intents and purposes, the finishing school is non-existent, and the players coming through no longer have the technical skills to perform at the international level.They need to bring back ACT and look at starting an NT team
the finishing school is non-existent, and the players coming through no longer have the technical skills to perform at the international level.
It's even more apparent in our lack of batting talent.Its showing in the bowling attack we have over in England
He couldn't get a game in a Shield team.Anyone think Alex Keath would get a game in the men's cricket side at the moment ?
