Hotspot only seems to have made a comeback here in the past year.

Yeah there was a mark and the snicko has lines at the same time as the hotspot mark occurs.
Fine decision which doesn't get given without hotspot probably. Bring it back for all games alongside.

It's pointless and should be scrapped. It's completely unnecessary and only serves to create exactly the confusion we see here. The scenarios where it might conceivably help are vanishingly rare.
Any impact that creates heat is far more likely to create sound.

Incredible control of the sphincter for his fart to also shoot up and touch the edge of his bat at the exact time and position the ball passed the bat but nowhere else to give the hotspot

It was a tough wicket, but will have to accept it.
It’s cricket after all.

Great day for us either way tbh. With this side I couldn't have dreamed we'd be in this position in a pink ball test against Australia. We've out performed much better international sides with our performance on this tour so far.
Lets just try not to disgrace ourselves with the best tomorrow and make a game of it.

Moment of the day:
The somersault by the…off stump bail of Alex Carey.
Sinclair’s backflip a close second.

I'm more thinking of the midriff-chest height ones off the fast bowlers. They're more difficult than lower ones because the hand positioning is very awkward, but while I can't remember him dropping many recently in the '10s he used to put them down regularly.

What broadcaster? Channel 7 showed a pretty clear close up and Ponting and co pointed it out. It was really quite obvious up close, but very faint

There is a mark IMO but it's so small and insubstantial that you can't determine if it's due to the impact or not without using some other method to determine if it's real.
Which of course naturally makes one ask, what is the point of Hotspot? (Answer: there isn't one)

It appeared at the exact spot the ball passed, at the exact moment the ball passed. I posit that you absolutely can determine that it's due to the impact

First time that I’ve managed to stay up for most of the night here and follow the game/s with you guys here on CW.
It’s really intense.
Hope to do it again.
Appreciate you guys. I can’t go back to sleep now….
Peace

With the way they've batted this series, almost as if Brathwaite & Chanderpaul were dual night-watchmen for the rest of the side.
In that context they did their job.

It's less that and more "am I actually seeing a mark at the point I expect it to be or hallucinating it" that's the issue

Think it's only the 2nd time this century that the West Indies have gotten a 1st innings lead in a Test in Australia (09/10 @ Adelaide was the other time).

There was a mark on hotspot which was visible at full size, and then it became invisible when they shrank the picture to include a splitscreen of the players standing around which they do for some reason.
Makes me wonder what size monitor the third umpire has, though he'd be closer to it than to a full-size television.
