double ton for the great man ?

 

[silentstriker]

Those are some astonishing numbers by Punter. Lowest average is 48.24 against England.

Only 42.63 in England though.

Yea, unfortunately, he is definitely looking like it.

In this day of flat-tracks, heavy bats, small grounds, minnows and poor bowling, it's no surprise Ponting does so well.

 

[silentstriker]

Tendulkar should bowl a couple here.

FFS Clarke, play straight. Can't keep swinging across the line forever.

CBF watching ATM, this is turning into a snooze fest.

the top two batsman according to the rankings Sanga and Kallis do not have such a record against all teams

What are the Indians still carrying on for? It clearly hit is pad, move on, it was great umpiring and a shoddy appeal. This is just poor stuff from the Indians.

 

[Laurrz]

best session in terms of run rate for Aus

 

[jeevan]

Looking at the bright side, possibly for the first time this series the over rate has been better than the minimum over a whole session.

Big ocean, little straw - clutching nonetheless.

You forgot luck and biased umpires cowed by the Australian bloc.

 

[Burgey]

Australia to get to 450, then really put th efoot down here. If it goes to plan, they'll be over 100 in front at stumps and pushing hard to do to India what they did to the hapless Poms last year.

Good luck to Gilly as well. Hope he goes out with a bang.

HBSingh again showing why he's the biggest prat in world cricket. Dire appeal pre-lunch there. Apparently within the "spirit of the game" though. Hope Lee KOs hiim with a bouncer tomorrow, frankly.

That's 13 wickets now in 10 session.what kind of pitch is this?
If india had prepared this kind of pitch after leading a series everybody would have moaned about how it was deliberately done.

given Adelaides history you cant say this was planned though

That's because they normally prepare ridiculous raging turners instead.

Seems like it's one of those wickets where it's not hard to survive, but it is difficult to score freely. Right now, given the Aussies gave up 117 runs t dropped catches, they'd be pretty happy where they are. Things happen quickly there late day 4/ day 5, but both teams have such strong line ups a draw is still well and truly on the cards.

 

[pasag]

Credit where credit's due, The Cricket Show has been pretty damn good this summer. Well, the ones I've seen anyways.
