    Clarke's stocks have risen in my book.....
    Finally he steps up in a tough situation.
    That cut shot he played for a boundary was just magnificent, hit so clean.
    And I am so happy for Ricky, champion player, a big f*** you to the critics.
    Reminds me of that Steve Waugh tonne at the same ground in 2003.
    And Hussey, well done.


    haha,.. good to see... I mean, I think we all had the image of him being a twat... and what he did after the test in 08 is no excuse...

    that aside, I was thinking tonight, if I was some 'hot' commodity in cricket, or any other sport... getting paid a ton, I would probably want to buy a fast car and bang some hot chicks too... hell I want those things too...

    When you compare his captaining skills to dhoni, they are so far apart atm. Clarke left cover vacant nearly the whole day yesterday, and dhoni had men everywhere from quite early on in the innings.

    I hope he goes on and gets 300

    They are so one-eyed and think they are cricket and can dictate the laws.
    Indian cricket fans regularly post comments on articles on Australian media always putting down Aussie players and laughing at them.

    but they are the most passionate fans in the world, it would be some experience to be at the game and see Sachin score a century in india
    I don't mean to offend anyone, a lot of what I say should be taken with a grain of salt... that said for most of you I'm a stranger on a computer on the other side of the world, don't give me that sort of power!

    curryinfo.com is laughable.

    as for serialthrilla... clarke will be a far superior captain to ponting, although thats not hard. i'd be better captain than ponting. he might have me covered with the bat, but he was a terrible tactition.
    Yeh I've seen Pearl Jam, too. But I can't remember the dates.

    How good was that...

    Just started raining in Sydney... hopefully it won't tomorrow and we can get these Indians out... Hopefully there isn't another big partnership of Laxman Tendulkar like in 2000...

    Wow what a batting display.
    This patch isn't offering anything for the bowlers.
    Let's hope it turns tomorrow.

    Unless Lyon takes 5, he won't be playing in Perth... Unless they perhaps drop Marsh and bring in Watson...

    They won't drop marsh on his home deck where he'll be most comfortable.

    Yeh, could be right. But TBH, if they're wanting to get Watson back in I wouldn't be surprised if any of the top 3 go. Apart from that century, Warner hasn't set the world on fire.


    And I feel sorry for Lyon, but India just have his measure. He needs to bowl like 7-10km slower I feel...

    Remember that blonde bloke who took 700 test wickets? The Indians had his measure, too.

    The curries always play spin well... Except swann.. He took a few against em didn't he?

    I feel incredibly sorry for Lyon.... He actually bowled so well today.. and I didn't realise until he changed ends that we was bowling from the wrong end... spinners always bowl from the Randwick end at the SCG, he bowled all day from Paddington...

    And I think he is the best of a not so great bunch... Doherty, Haurtiz... Lyon has game... He just needs to slow it down a touch....

    If he got Tendulkar out with that close LBW, or had someone near 45 for sachins sweep that went wrong, then we may be talking differently....

    Plus, he is going out with a mates sister, so I hope he does well on the count too...

    Pattinson injury is a shame... Big loss... and Geez I wish Cummins was fit, I want to get a look at him. Must be frustrating for him...
