and a little reminder about the best stat going around in cricket currently: HowSTAT! Player Analysis by Batting Position

2 from 2 back at 5

 

[Jacknife]

His game has improved since becoming Captain, he averaged mid 30's the last couple of years.

One of his better tons this, well done.

 

[benchmark00]

Going to sleep now ****s.


At the end of play I want some **** to write down what I have missed. I will read it tomorrow.

 

[Valer]

Was that a cry of catch or was that Clarke screaming in delight because he knew he'd picked the gap?

Top knock. 102*(108) when the rest of the batting line up has either scored single figure scores or had to really graft to score 40 is incredible.

Johnson 20*(19) ?

Edit: terrible timing.

 

[chicane]

Pup! Blitz 100 to counter super hostile bowling. If only I could watch.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Very good knock, especially with that strike rate.

 

[TumTum]

Mitch gone.

Someone needs to take a picture of Clarke's scream, amazing image

 

[hang on]

one of the best 100s that i have ever seen!

incredible.

stupid johnson.

 

[Woodster]

Johnson gone, well done Vern, deserved that on his bowling overall today. Soft dismissal for Johnson though.

 

[Jayzamann]

Piss shot to get out. Always seems Midge is a little late, or that's the impression with his little pause in his backlift.

 

[Spikey]

ahahahaha how isn't harris at 11

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Philander gets johnson.

 

[Phantom]

Clarke must be in bloody good nick, he's even got the rarely used pull/hook shot out, playing it beautifully might I add

 

[Jacknife]

Kallis has been really poor today with the ball, he's been all over the shop.

 

[Howe_zat]

Clarke vs everyone but Steyn: 84* off 87

Steyn vs everyone but Clarke: 9.5 overs, 4-9

Story of the innings so far. Both been a class apart.

 

[Furball]

Bring back Tahir so he can get annihilated.

 

[Ikki]

Can't see it but must be a terrific knock from Clarke.

 

[Spikey]

Clarke vs everyone but Steyn: 84* off 87

Steyn vs everyone but Clarke: 9.5 overs, 4-9

Story of the innings so far. Both been a class apart.

Clarke was 3 off 20 after their first battle.

 

[Phantom]

ahahahaha how isn't harris at 11

He's actually a reasonable batsman, has done little at this level, done okay in the One Dayers. I believe he has a pair to his credit even in these early days

 

[Jayzamann]

aww maaaaaaaan
