Should be taken out of the players hands and 3rd ump just fixes the real stuff ups. The 50-50's have always been there, the DRS only highlights it more.

I thought Harris was a little unlucky to be given, but the umpiring has been much better than previous tests.

Oh I see all the Warner haters are back, you all went very quiet when he made just as many as England in the 1st innings at Headingley. He's here to stay, get used to it

Bowls left, but throws right handed. I know a few guys that do that.

Thats crazy talk! Bowl and bat opposite yes but bowl and throw - never heard of it before tonight!

Crazy hey, I know of a few guys that are Ambidextrous like that aswell.
Leach does it with ease, another right arm bullet from fine leg as he proceeds to bowl the next over.

Plenty of left hand batsmen play golf right handed.

England bowlers are dining out on our lefties. My fear is that when they break this partnership Head and Wade could go quickly. I say we get rid of all our lefties and find 6 right handers .... that's not easy.

Even days play considering an early wicket could see us bowled out for 230-250 pretty easily.

With rain about over the next couple of days and potentially a whole day lost this is potentially poised to be a fizzer which means we head to the fifth test with a host of scenarios.

Opening partnerships of 2 ,13 ,11 ,13 ,12 ,10 and 1. Warner with 2 ,8 ,3 ,5 ,61,0 ,0.

Something has to change at the top of the order, Harris looks better than Bancroft, perhaps Labuschagne will end up at the top of the order with Harris, he looks organised enough.

Well it clearly has. Smith was wearing the neck protectors on his helmet yesterday, he'd mentioned he'd worn them in the nets and wasn't comfortable in them so he'd not worn them in a match. That changed after getting hit.

It hasn't impacted on his ability to score runs, however.
