^ yeah, saw some footage on the news last night. Surely they wouldn't allow a Test match to proceed in "light" like that & then there's the air quality which has to be a hazard in its own right.

Straya won the toss & are batting.
How does the new joint compare to the WACA for pace & bounce?
Keep your mob out there in the heat tomorrow afternoon and throw them into the cauldron under lights.Taylor gone for 80, NZ 147/7: with Hazelwood out does Straya enforce the seemingly inevitable follow-on or bat again & set NZ say 500? You'd assume the latter in that heat.
It seems to be hard to predict - depends which way the wind blows. On Tuesday it would have been cancelled for sure. But the weekend has been better. Although, healthwise, i dont think any kind of cardio is very highly recommended right now.^ yeah, saw some footage on the news last night.

^ to me the fact that neither the "catcher" nor the closest fielder looked particularly interested in the dG one should've given Dar the hint that maybe it hadn't hit the glove. Should've said Not Out (as in, If In Doubt, Say Not Out) & let Aus DRS it if they felt it had. The Sandpaper Man didn't hit his one, either, I think maybe I was suggesting that some consistency might be in order (I'd had a few by then but I'm pretty sure that was it ).
The whole point of DRS is to correct an umpire's error so IMO this whole "no conclusive evidence to overturn the decision" bizzo is bullshit. Only question for TMO should be "is it or isn't it out" & if he can't conclusively say it's Out then obviously it's gotta be Not Out.
Makes no difference in the long run, even if we get to the second break tonight only a wicket or two down Starc will likely go beserk under the lights & Lyon finish the job in the morning. But a shit decision is still & always a shit decision & it's a bit frustrating that every time we play you blokes at your place there seems to be at least one screamingly bad call in your favour.
