That over Yadav bowled where he hit three in a row was just sublime batting though.I actually thought Clarke was a bit streaky. Some sublime shots but got beaten a fair few times, a few outside edges and a few that he had no idea about (that attempted pull that went off the toe and on to the offside, the regulation catch to a nonexistent bat pad). Rode his luck, but that happens to everyone sometimes. Hopefully he cashes in.
Agree, Clarke looked terribly suspect in his first dozen of so deliveriesI actually thought Clarke was a bit streaky.

So like Clarke usually does, then.Agree, Clarke looked terribly suspect in his first dozen of so deliveries
Yeah words failed me for those. Simply awesome.That over Yadav bowled where he hit three in a row was just sublime batting though.
That Sanga stat does not surprise me one bit. His bat looks like a door when he stops feeling for it.So like Clarke usually does, then.
If you're gonna get him, get him quick, because he is very good at cashing in on a start.
EDIT: Just to prove the point, averages 82.9 in innings of 20+ since his recall. Anything above 80 is very, very good in terms of cashing in (In this timeframe, Tendulkar is 86, North was 87.7 and Sanga is a truly absurd 99.98. Oh, and Shane Watson? A solid 59.8)
What was the story?Featured on ACA. Oh dear
I was thinking the same. I'm really looking forward to that. Might as well plan a trip or two to EnglandDon't mind saying this 18 months early, it's going to be a cracking fast bowling shoot out in England in 2013 if both sides have close to a full compliment of quicks at their disposal.
Be fantastic watching.
At his absolute peak, end of 06/beginning of 07, it was around 87 - Northesque, but not quite Sangaesque. Anything 80+ is as I said a bloody fine effort, but Sanga's is just ridiculous.That Sanga stat does not surprise me one bit. His bat looks like a door when he stops feeling for it.
Him along with Ponting circa 2006 are the two best I've ever seen at cashing in when set.
I'm in the video noble just postedWhat was the story?
hats off to the selectors for sticking with him, but on the positive side Ponting looked all class.
I'm still not convinced he is 'back' yet by any means, but if he is going to be persisted with its obviously great if he is actually contributing by making runs!hats off to the selectors for sticking with him
You have to give the bloke a break mate, he probably took a month to come up with it and was convinced if he kept saying it eventually someone would realise he's actually a ****ing comic genius.Would have only been improved if the person sitting near us stopped shouting "Get it in-d-ya" every time Aus got some runs, but nonetheless a very enjoyable day.
