Guessing you mean Reverse Swing, not sure if it does pick it up since from the animation who can barely see the swing but then again it could be the computer animation rather than the data.
Anyway ICC should have known all this ages ago.
Think MIT been testing the swing and to see if it pick it up, they doing all sort of test on the Hawkeye.”
i mean any sort of swing that happens late
how often have we seen a ball swing so much after passing the bat that it almost goes to first slip ?
the assumption you mentioned in your previous post is where it gets complicated imo, the umpire has to assume the ball travels in a straight line after impact with the pads but we all know that the ball doesn't actually do that. so what we have is a predictive system being limited by an assumption put in place to deal with something that they dont predict
all i am saying is we often see decisions that look very weird because the ball has started to swing and to the naked eye can look like its going to miss but because of that assumption it ends up being predicted to hit
