I am still pro-DRS.

It is better than the old fashioned alternative.

But gee wiz, it hasn't had a good show in the last two tests.

Practically every marginal decision has fatefully gone against Australia. If this was happening to India, the BCCI would have cancelled the series by now and claimed racial discrimination was behind it with Shastri and Gavaskar claiming this has always happened to them whenever they play against England.

Simply amazing on so many levels.

i wouldn't go that far, just a series of bad decisions which haven dented in the first test a much needed morale boosting win for a seriously wounded phsyche who in fairness played marginally better, then compounded by further bad decisions in the second, its cricket it happens haha

It certainly is a strange one. In real time I thought it was out judging on the "sound" more than anything else. That said, the more you view it as the 3rd umpire did the more I was thinking not out. Definitely an interesting decision. Not too disappointed though being an England fan! 3 more boys!

Haddin's was missing as well.

Maybe the umpires want to go home early?

Pattinson looks a better batsman than half the top order to me

Harris looks like he can  bat too

I wonder if where going to see the return of Warner

Aussie tailenders again showing up the supposed proper batsmen, displaying a lot more heart and determination. The actual batsmen had better lift their game for the next match.

I have to ask this people keep saying he has improved but do you seriously think Steve Smith is test match quality or ever will be he looks very flawed

Personally I don't think he is cut out for it yet. Although he has improved his game, his technique and temperament are still not exactly suited to test cricket.
However, as he has shown the ability to improve and adapt he may eventually make a decent go of it..
