		the MISUSE is when players have utilised all the teams drs and later batsmen cant use them.so sorry to carry on and not articulate that properly, that's the misuse,take that option away,problem solved you miss understood the warner meaning I would say besides kwajlaja and most of the low catch calls there hasn't been many 3rd ump mistakes that come to mind and those low catch wont be solved

		most decisions definable catch bowled run outs back to the howlers, let the 3 umpires make a decision just because players have misused the DRS ,that doesn't excuse the authorities for letting howlers go through originally I think it was brought in with the idea that howlers would be gone and to incorporate this they needed an agreement with all parties , this bought the players association into the act and has now obvoisly ruined the system . no arguments lifes to short. read page 95 saturdays hun mate trying to be nice look at a video of warners appeal and drs last test, mc couldn't look himin the eye and say out and this article p95 hun clearly shows me what I would expect and want

		foolish. it was designed to get rid of the HOWLER example stuart broad, for starters big boy as I said take it out of the players hands and they wont misuse them harris and lyon LBW missed by umpire would allow 3rd to rectify end of story if you use DRS like other sports its all or nothing, don't let lunatics take over the asylum

		must have miss written I meant the amount of time used at the moment, may as well let the 3rd check all of them get the poms stopping their mid over conversations and the game will be able to move on check every out or ditch the system of DRS. it clearly was designed for the right things but as usual is being used smarlty by players and not getting rid of the howlers and yes ive always felt that when a human gets used to watching replays and then has to do without them, it may become a muddle after relying on technology and then relaxing the thought process to deal without it must be hard

		can we put Watson on the ltil and bring in magner/couch its the first time ive enjoyed watsons batting ,because he was in strife and fighting for every run yes macca the drs has many knockers and different cricket boards have their own opinions about it seems the umpires have lost the ability too make decisions without video help, which is a modern day young persons thing.if they cant see a replay they struggle to explain what happened in front of their eyes.probably because its normal to see everything on playback in the modern era producing good umpire officials doesn't come easy when everything is replayed adneuseum I personally think the DRS should be not available to players, only to officials as it wouldn't hold up the game to check the bad decisions, it adds up to the time they spend checking it atm. btw, how much time do the poms waste by having meetings before during every over. this is a ploy against inexperienced batsmen and SOMEBODY should approach the umpires mid innings and ask them to get the precedings on the move

		true. was a memorable century this pitch looks tailor made for the unorthodox slog batsmen. so prior , haddin and hopefully siddle sids hasn't made much with the bat so could be due for a edgey 35 Australia 4/99 and camera pans the crown to find a demon jumper, lucky bugger. probably doesn't know the gc score and doesn't care interesting page 95 herald sun yesterday. im still deciphering it, to make sure I understand the articles content properly

		they seem to have a LEFT ARM AROUND THE WICKET theory of picking spinners the next 2 tests set us up for brizzy, so im very happy hilditch walking the dog on the beach is not involved,now comes the test of fitness for the pace bowlers any good solid batting performance should strengthen the team from here on in don't know if maddinson is the answer but I thought MC stated an interesting thing WATSON WILL BAT WHERE WE SE FIT IN THE ORDER . its the first time weve heard this type of comment re anybody could shreks backing up of the captain have instilled reality to the line up?

		yep harris due to rest aches pains you would imagine spot on with the spinner call rr. the selectors have been inconsisitent with the issue for 5 years can Clarke and smith warner keep taking it up to swanny.well we hope so before brizzy there is a lot of finding out in the next 2 tests . so we start brizzy with a clear selection agenda

		warner opening , good innings to. watto put in his place too bad were 2 down because winning the toss and batting first in the next test would be a test of fitness on their bowlers is siddle our glue for the last 3 years just realised harris maybe due for 4th test rest

		2 interesting things . when warner walks up the runway to speak to the batsmen at the other end,he mouths I didn't hit it. other batsmen replies, with eyes down not looking in the face of warner . errr I fink you knicked it now were on the field and battling away, the coach gives the signal for an unrefered appeal YEP HE WAS OUT. just to make the afternoon all the more pleasurable the players could field happy in the knowledge they should've called DRS captaincy, batsmenship, don't equal leadership if your confused get a dictionary.i answered a query on why our team was so bad. and said we don't have leadership. in anyway shape or form in this team. no leadership in the sheds and it transpires on the ground. I didn't attack Clarke intentionly. maybe I cant write as good as others,my Clarke comments were printed after somebody wanted to know why I thought there was no leadership.i also answered why I thought Clarke couldn't and shouldn't lead.if I didn't give reasons people may not have understood any person who writes down roman numerals and goes to the tattoo shop and says print this on me arm and finds out he has misread roman numerals is not a sharp person.then argues with half the team after Symons was rooting lsut of the month lara .then pulls out of a tour to sort out the fevmyster. is definitely not the smartest person to follow into battle lets buy a lamborgini because I have a bad back. and want to protect it ,as Watson said whod follow you as I previously said :would you go to war with. ponting Waugh. or pup either way I follow and love cricket. my idea of the game is opinion and if you don't like it . that's OK go aussies

		glad warner used his DRS meltdown while we are in such a good position rather it happen now and the team sort it out once and for all with so many runs on the board , it wont haunt us in this match. MC no doubt will set some drs rules within the team from here on in like I said pre first test , keep their bowlers in the field, and hopefully this will pay off in the 4th test and last but not least, how good was it to see rogers hold top spot.

		great day for the boys very happy for rogers to set us up with a steady openers take the shine off the ball innings now lets hope golden balls and junior golden balls can set this game up for warner and haddin to squash a tiring attack it will give the bowlers so much to work with. the first hour will set the tone for the rest of the match.

		at least we have hope and future poor old cards13 who follows cycling has no hope no future and retrospective doping to worry about enjoy the 3rd test everybody and watch out for the smartalec warner to upset the poms

		speaking about leadership. warner, the little pigface could end up being the one. he has that attitude of I might be wrong but lets do it anyway, and hes got that smartalec attitude that will upset the poms and every other team. also we need a new start so without a leader on the horizon he could be the fill in that adds spice to the team for 3 years until new leaders appear

		deluded. bobby simpson was still playing grade cricket in nsw when wsc started and the acb needed an older head at the helm we had a bad team and I would rate it worse than what we have now,so a LEADER was injected to develop and nuture new team ethos dressing room rumours have been proven many times in the past , going back to tiger oriellys day.its just that the press and former players don't want to krap in their own nest that stops them from writing about it as for how did we get here . well the main selector was walking his dog on the beach instead of being at a test match. this gives rise to the theory that the skipper is in charge of selection as I wrote earlier ponting wouldnt scrub his old mate hayden and it stopped a new player getting tests under belt for the future.in fact hayden got 10 tests to many. then punter went for backstop for batting strength and not wicketkeeper after the famous changeroom fight he backed MC and the kat was banished. unfortunately they got rid of a leader and kept a gimp

		yes macca , and steve Waugh didn't shine with the bat until he played a few tests same with boony at 6, until he earnt stripes it takes at least 35_40 tests to get your position down pat, and atm we haven't been willing to let players do that. that's why losing 5_0 might be the catylist for a general overhaul don't wish it , but think it needs to happen to justify the big knife
