***Official*** India in Australia 2011/12

[Cabinet96]

Declaration. Was quite enjoying that.

 

[Pothas]

Nahhhhhh

 

[Briony]

This is party time. At least Clarke can declare when he wants, unlike AB who was toying with the bowling but was declared upon.

Bet the Indians didn't expect Tendulkar's parade to be rained on so spectacularly.

 

[adub]

and that is just stupid.

Sorry Clarkey, but it was there for you, and worrying about what pissants would think is insane.

Just remember that is the exact mid-point of the match. 7.5 sessions to play. Stupid.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That's bull****. 485* would have given Clarke an average of 50

Should have prolonged India's agony for much, much longer.

 

[TT Boy]

Must be the forecast which dictated that.

 

[Briony]

Oh, seriously? They've declared?

Handy boost to the average. Over four sessions with only one wicket falling. What are the odds of an avalanche now?

 

[Burgey]

Ridiculous. Half the test to go and India is ******** ATM. He should have made 450.

 

[Ruckus]

Innings & 679, I think. England v Australia at The Oval in 1938 (?). Bradman got injured bowling during England's first innings score of 900+

Dammit, only 579.

And a declaration. Didn't expect that. Tubby's safe.

God that is a ridiculous scorecard. What's with two Aus players, one of them Bradman, being 'absent hurt' for both innings though?

Couldn't disagree more. Forecast suggests there could be rain on the way, and he's taking no chances.

Winning the Test Match > Clarke breaking records

 

[_Ed_]

Slightly disappointed by that declaration. Would have loved to see him go for the record.

Still, great innings.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Declaration. Was quite enjoying that.

Haven't you got school in the morning?

 

[Cabinet96]

Why not just score another 6 runs? I wouldn't be surprised if he's trying to look good here tbh.

 

[NasserFan207]

Curious declaration. Would've at least waited till tea personally, but I guess Clarke wants India to have to start twice tonight.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Injured during the first innings - look at Bradman's bowling figures. England probably wouldn't have declared had they not known they'd only be trying to take 16 wickets rather than 20.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Should've had the rest of the session at least to slog out, strange decision.

 

[Ruckus]

Couldn't disagree more. Forecast suggests there could be rain on the way, and he's taking no chances.

Winning the Test Match > Clarke breaking records

Yeah totally agree. Would prefer Lara to keep that record anyway.

 

[Cabinet96]

Haven't you got school in the morning?

Not yet.

 

[Pothas]

Don't think it's really that bad a declaration, dissapointing though.

Still want India to put on a show but would be hilarious if they are 5 down by tea. Want Sehwag to go mad, would be fun regardless of the outcome.

ahh right missed that.
