***Official*** India in Australia

Does Clarke suffer from a mental block problem now and then, remember how he shouldered arms to an incoming delivery from Franklin during the World cup and got bowled like a fool and he did a similar thing to a Simon Jones delivery during the 2nd innings Manchester test in 05 Ashes series, and he did a similar thing today.

He also did a very similar thing in an ODI against Zimabwe when Blessing Mahwire was bowling to add to that.

In Test cricket Yuvraj is not one-tenth the batsman Ponting is - comparing their on-field antics is an insult to Ponting.

You're right, because behaviour is directly correlated to batting averages.

Not wanting to jinx him but Gillie looking very confident already.

[NUFAN]

Impressed with Tendulkar's catching today?

Yes.

 

[PietersensCaddy]

Can someone tell me who just got out as i am at work. Dammit.

 

[pup11]

Man.. this is crazy stuff Gilchrist gone too.... no... no...

 

[Craig]

WTF. Australia really are in the mire.

 

[Nate]

Symonds and Hogg at the crease. 847-run partnership coming up.

 

[Zinzan]

Less than 200 now, definitely....

I wouldn't say definately, if Symonds gets a bit of luck and gets a bit of support, they could still get above 200

Ponting, Hussey, Clarke and Gilchrist. All within the space of 31 deliveries.

Lack of backyard BBQ's in India = lack of practice at post-wicket celebrations. Could probably come up with a correlation.

Not wanting to jinx him but Gillie looking very confident already.

EDIT: Christ, that's twice I've done that. RP Singh, take a bow.

I think you might be right! Backyard cricket provides the perfect system for learning how to celebrate with people you've only just met...meaning celebrating a wicket with teammates becomes a bit like a mass orgy at a dimly lit swinger's club. It's a spectacle, and most of the crowd are delighted to see it.

It's obviously a developmental problem the BCCCCCI need to address!

 

[Top_Cat]

All credit to RP Singh, though. All four wickets to catches behind with good swing. That's great bowling. Tendulkar's elbows must have no skin on them any more.

Awesome stuff here.

Gilchrist, nicked an outswinger to first slip

 

[pup11]

Hogg for a century ! lol

I would even take a half-century from him tbh!
