Not Terrible
Thought it was his 98 at Brisbane just recently TBH.Easily Clarke's best inningsof his test career. Very mature and just what Australia needed.

That guy Siddle though first needs to work on his batting against the short delivery and after that he would be ready to open the batting for Australia....Reverse the order, tbh. Reckon that Ponting bloke would go alright as a Test number 9. And, somehow, Hussey seem more menacing coming out at 8..........
Yup, rate Clarke much more highly as a test bat after that knockEasily Clarke's best inningsof his test career. Very mature and just what Australia needed.
Probably he felt that he was much better off looking to pick every run avaliable for the team' cause rather than start slogging selfishly to bring up his own century, and not also to forget that South Africa had most of their fielders guarding the boundaries whenever Clarke was on strike.Clarkey didn't deserve the century for mine, if he wanted it so badly he wouldn't have given the strike more to Siddle, he would have gone after it. So not worthy of it. Well played to keep going at it for such long period though.

Yeah, but the Brisbane pitch more than made up for the difference in the bowling attacks if you consider Australia were bowled out for just 214 thereSA bowling attack >>>>>>>>>>> NZ bowling attack (despite them bowling on that Brisbane pitch)
Correct.Probably he felt that he was much better off looking to pick every run avaliable for the team' cause rather than start slogging selfishly to bring up his own century, and not also to forget that South Africa had most of their fielders guarding the boundaries whenever Clarke was on strike.
Yep. His decision to give the strike to Siddle and take every run was surely vindicated by the length of time the latter batted for and the runs he scored.Probably he felt that he was much better off looking to pick every run avaliable for the team' cause rather than start slogging selfishly to bring up his own century, and not also to forget that South Africa had most of their fielders guarding the boundaries whenever Clarke was on strike.
Awesome performance by the tail, how would you guys rate the Saffie attack at the end?
Dale Steyn - Awesome (obviously!)
Makhaya Ntini - Workhorse did ok
Morne Morkel - Terrible, can't keep up his pace and lacks killer instinct
Paul Harris - Under-rated and under-bowler
Jacques Kallis - Best 5th bowler in the world by a country mile
