They're not even comparable. One was a clear catch that wasn't even checked and the other was the correct use of drs. We can argue whether you think umpires call should be part of drs but with the rules the way they are it was the correct decision.

Agree - the none catch was so strange.
In this case I think it's debateable whether the ball tracker really got the point of impact right. It did look like when it hit the pad, more than half the ball was inline with the stumps. Not blaming anyone, just not sure the technology really got it right.
I'm content with the "umpires call" on the stumps- but never been so comfortable with the umpires call on hitting the pads in line. I think if it impacts anywhere within the line of the stumps (rather than the more than half ball), you should roll it on and the decision should be based on the stumps. Basically - no umpires call on impact or pitching, with the umpires call element only brought in for the stumps.

Yep. 1 for 1 on crazy DRS moments.
