I have no idea where a win is going to come from. England are levels above us and they haven't even hit their straps yet, they're really only been idling along so when they fire its going to get even uglier.
They'll win this series 5-0 weather permitting, and really can anyone say with any confidence the way we are traveling that they won't beat us 5-0 again over here during the summer?
As crazy as it sounds, im not ruling out 10-0

So a tiny spot highlited on his bat, half the size of the ball exactly in line where the ball passed was his bat hitting the pad I suppose?
Quite a coincidence

Only change will probably be we lose by an innings this test
With the Poms doing so well at everything sport wise , the earths axis is totally off kilter
What happened to the days when England's biggest achievement was Eddie the Eagle Edwards

i think that they will bring in warner for hughes, bird or lyon in for pattinson. The problem Australia have is that no one knows how to play Swann even though they aren't really 'turning' pitches. He just spins it out of the rough and that deeply troubles the aussies (mostly left-handers). The only one that looks confident against Swann is Clarke and Smith at times and Watson hasn't even survived that long to face him. We need to stop playing stupid shots that was the downfall at Lords. Watson needs to stop planting his front foot and getting caught in front. Even though we will probably lose can't wait for this third test. Come on you aussies

im just going to say it that was a ridiculous decision. no hotspot on the bat and no noise. what bloody cheats

Wow that was absolutely ridiculous.
Clarke should have made a big deal about it and walked Rogers off the field until they reinstated Khawaja. Oh the joys of being Indian.

Doesn't Rogers look a different player when he is trying to score than just trying to survive

Or its BCCI's way of giving DRS bad publicity.

The problem isn't the DRS i don't think, its the hot spot, the thing doesn't pick up anything unless the cover has been knocked off it. Probably better off using snicko. No idea why that isn't allowed to be used when looking at a review.

Snicko is not advanced enough thats why they don't use it. Firstly, they can't compile the information fast enough, it usually takes a while. Secondly, sound moves slower than light, so that's why sometimes the noises will appear after the ball has passed the bat. When England reviewed one of the nicks (not Uz's, Clarke or Smith's), it was a good example of this. There was a definite noise, but no hotspot. The noise came after the ball passed the bat and it seemed to have come from nowhere.
When compiling the information, they need multiple camera angles, because as you saw on the Usman Khawaja dismissal, a one-dimensional view gives a different perspective.
I remember a few years ago, I think Pakistan were playing England, there was really good example of this. From the front on view, it looked like he had knocked the cover off it. From a side on view, you could clearly see the noise came about a metre passed the bat.
Snicko would have been useful for Khawaja's dismissal. You could see a more solid block of lines when the noise occurred. An edge usually shows a huge outlier for a line.
