For All the TV Umpires

Once they have actually seen the incident here are some guidelines to go by when judging a low catch.
1. Look for the bounce.
2. Look for the shadow.
3. Look for blades of grass in "front" of the ball.
4. Look at the position of all ten fingers.
5. Look for other markers in the video that may give a clue as to how low the ball is.

A ground level camera in the stumps facing the slips and the keeper would be nice to have.
