Looking at the ball tracking here, the key information is "WICKETS HITTING" and "IMPACT IN-LINE." While it might look high to the naked eye or feel that way as a batsman, the technology is pretty clear on whether it's going on to hit the stumps. The "PITCHING OUTSIDE OFF" is also relevant, but with impact in-line and hitting the stumps, it's a straightforward decision. The Decision Review System (DRS) relies on this kind of data for a reason. If the tracker shows it's hitting, then it's hitting. As a player, you learn to trust the technology, even if your initial instinct or hope was that it might sail over. It's a tough pill to swallow when you're out, but the system is designed to remove doubt. Ultimately, if the ball tracking confirms "WICKETS HITTING," then the umpire's decision to give it out, or overturn an original not-out, is justified. There's no 'might miss' when the technology says it's making contact. You're simply out.

The ball tracking display clearly indicates the reasons for the decision. While the original on-field decision was 'Not Out', the review system provides precise data to overturn such calls when warranted by the Laws. Regarding your observation about the ball's height, the "WICKETS HITTING" indicator is green, signifying that the ball was projected to make contact with the stumps. This directly addresses any possibility of the ball missing due to height. Had the ball been going over the stumps, this indicator would typically
