So if there isn't a clear deflection or noise but a small mark on hotspot its out, but if there is nothing on hotspot but a deflection and noise its also out.

Are they just disregarding hotspot now? Not that I'm against it, just seems strange. There's no consistency.

I guess maybe they really do think Batsmen are using ways to get around hotspot.

There is a mark on hotspot it's just incredibly faint and I'm surprised they've overturned it. He's definitely hit it though.

You can see the deflection on the ultra-slow mo replay. Really tough call to make though.

''I never retired from international cricket,'' Katich said. ''I was told by [former chief selector, Andrew] Hilditch I was never going to be picked again for Australia in 2010 - although he did say the same thing to me in April 2007.''

Hilditch is where the rot started, especially the selection of teams on criteria other than form.

I thought the company behind hot spot said the vaseline would have to be 1cm thick for it to affect it showing up on the bat?

If there is some stuff they are using to fool hotspot it would be some sort of non-reactive solid coating similar to that extra-tec poo poo they used to put on bats.

As someone said the other day, you would be screwing yourself over for bat&pad lbw's. Maybe if you just put it on the outside edge and hoped for the best.

Could the heat of the day be an effect? I don't think batmans are doing anything dodgy with their bats (and the makes said that vaseline wouldn't make a difference) but if the bat and ball are warmer there might be less contact heat\friction\science stuff I don't fully understand that means there is no\less of a hotspot.

Or start including snicko. I know it takes a minute or two for a guy to line up the audio and video, but surely that's time well spent?

"Earlier this week, my brother Steven Warner published a tweet about Shane Watson. Like everyone, he is entitled to his opinions but I want to state categorically that I do not endorse his comments and fully support Shane and all my team mates."

We've not seen the Tweet but, rest assured, we are trying to find it. Are the Aussies deliberately looking for trouble?

If they can get these last 2 wickets before Australia get 12 runs, it'll be the biggest ever test win (by runs, excluding innings victories) at Lords. And the 7th biggest test win of all time.

yep, 24 over or less full refund, over 25 half refund and over 50 no refund.

Better than it used to be then - last time I went to a Test a few years back, it was 10 overs or less for a full refund and 25 or less for a half refund.

Usually in tests they do stuff like £10 for adults, concessions free on the 5th day, but it's a bit different for the Ashes I suppose.
