That was a strange decision thought Aussies would have batted Smith averages over 100 on this ground as well i heard i think this could end up being a drawn match early prediction.
Ha. He's had a brutal series. Was pretty unlucky there too, it must have been the very faintest of nicks, though to be fair it was a dreadful shot waft.
It didn't pick up all of the really thin edges that Snicko picks up, so now that Snicko is allowed to be part of DRS (whereas before it was just a TV broadcaster thing), there's no point having both.
When it was used, there was always talk of players using bat tape or lubricants on their bats to reduce friction between bat and ball, thus causing an edge to not show up on Hotspot - Although nobody was ever caught doing this.
I can't find a source for it, but I'm sure I remember there being issues with it being considered 'Military grade equipment' in certain countries as well, which I imagine would've made it very expensive to import/export and use.
At the time of writing, Steve Smith has scored more fours (85) in this series than David Warner has scored runs (84).
Also predicted after the first innings dismissal in the 2nd test that Warner would be dropped before the end of the series. No money involved but still think I've ran pretty bad to lose on that one.

Let's see if England have learnt anything from the previous matches and not give away their wickets in the last hour of the days play...Block,Leave & Punish.

I'm starting to feel sorry for Warner......

shotwaft.Yikes, what a talent Archer is. If he can keep his head in the right place (the jury is out there) he has a long & wonderful career ahead of him.
So, welcome - again - to the Steve Myth show.
Looking at the replays, I'm not even convinced Warner nicked it.
Why don't they use hotspot any more, anyone know?

Smith eventually departs & it's 187-8.
With the Aussies to bat last, & a likely 1st Innings lead of ~100, I think that's officially "Game On".
Famous last words.....
