[VIDEOS] Problems with Hawkeye ball-tracking?

Shan Masood speaking at the end of 2nd Test match between Pakistan and South Africa:

"It was an outswinger. If you see the ball that I was beaten by, it jagged away a long way. I was beaten on the outside edge, and it was shown as an inswinger. I was baffled by that to be very honest."

"With the naked eye, you could see it felt like it was outside the line as well. I just felt it was a different picture. I didn't get hit where Hawkeye was showing it to be hit. I was hit more on the outside of the leg than the inside; it shows it on the inside. That's not an inswinger. I was beaten by an outswinger and that's what the umpire thought as well, and that's all I can say to that."

"It's up to the administrators to see if that's a fair decision or not, but I certainly felt that technology didn't show the trajectory of how that ball was."

The inspiration for this thread was the LBW appeal from Tahir against Hafeez. I though that looked plumb and i felt the ball should not have gone so easily over the stumps. Even from the side on angle did didn't feel like that. Yet the ball comfortable went over the stumps.

Now I am not saying that the Hawkeye is biased against any team. It is just that I have seen many matches where the ball from the spinners missing the stumps for height. Now this does not particularly apply to pacers but rather pacers. I feel at times, the hawk-eye might not be too accurate for spinners as it is for pacers.

It is often quite the case when it comes to matches in the subcontinent. I have seen DRS decisions against and in favor of Bangladesh going in favor for Bangladesh because the ball just leaped over the stumps so easily. And mind you everytime I have felt that there might be a need to tweak the hawkeye.

What to do you lads think?

Why have you been missing for quite sometimes now in PP? Are you alive mate?

He was plumb in front.

How did he go back, watch the replay, and still come out to say this?
