In the context of the pitches Australia have had to play on for the last while, it was actually quite a good change to have one heavily favouring the batsmen. That being said, however, I hope the SCG doesn't produce any more of those, because it was a massive road offering nothing for pace or spin, and frankly was a let down considering the SCGs recent pitches which have been awesome.

The good news for India is that, under Fletcher, they seem to have finally got rid of their first Test of the series blues. They were more competitive in the first Test against England than any of the subsequent games and it looks like that trend is continuing against Australia. Peaking at the right time.

Great win. Apart from seeing Clarke, Ponting,and Hussey do well it was also nice to see our bowling unit keep it together on a wicket that wasn't entirely helpful in the second innings. Has been the most pleasing thing coming out of recent tests for me. Watching the **** we served up over the couple of years prior to this has been hard work. Hope they continue to be consistent.

Holy ****.

Spartan Sports (which is based in Wollongong) is looking likely to be Clarke's new sponsor.

I've seen them make some horrible bats. This will take them through the roof.

Is that just for the sponsorship stickers? Because somehow I don't think Clarke will want to be changing bats for a while.

Yeah would be just stickers I'd imagine, but part of the reason Clarke split with Slazenger was because he wanted Slazenger to create a greater range of 'Michael Clarke products'.

So we're going to see alot more club cricketers using Spartan bats in the future.

Well, good thing for them after their latest high profile signing had a case of, well, bad timing.

TBF Mitch did bat pretty well with it.

heres that Hilf ball for anyone who wants to replay it over and over again:

SCG 2nd Test Day 4 Tea - YouTube

Amazing delivery. I don't think this is even possible but it almost looks like inswing and then suddenly a little outswing.

Good ball but VVS and Michal Vaughan do have a habit of providing eye popping clean bowled moments. As for your second statement yes its possible Umer Gul was bowling quite a few of those with the new ball during the recent series with SL
