Only got to watch 1 hour of play today but thankfully it was the hour after tea where Pooty Tang and Pup tonned up.

Finally the torture draws to an end.

Pretty sure India wouldnt like to prolong it by showing any semblance of a fight.

Unless Marsh gets another bat, he has scored the least amount of runs of any Aussie Top 6 ever in a 4 Test series (2nd overall)

1. Rutherford (NZ): 4T 7 inn 12 runs @ 1.71 (1984-85)
2. Marsh (Aus): 4T 5 Inn 17 runs @ 3.40 (2011-12)
3. Badcock (Aus): 4T 7 Inn 23 runs @ 3.83 (1938)
4. Arnold (Eng): 4T 4 inn 28 runs @ 7.00 (1903-04)
5. Sinclair (SA): 4T 5 Inn 29 runs @ 5.80 (1910-11)

Clarke sorry for etiquette breach - Sports News First

Fair enough.

Clarke's apology came after India launched an obstruction appeal against the Australian batsman on Tuesday's opening day of the fourth Test in Adelaide.

The controversy, in the over before tea, came when Clarke nudged a single from Virat Kohli's spin bowling.

Virat Kohli bowls spin now?

His answer to the first question is gold

I don't remember marsh scoring so many runs

Finally the torture draws to an end.

Pretty sure Indian fans want them to prolong this game as long as possible and show some mettle. If Australia declare at 500-odd, bat till stumps on the 5th day to get the draw. Four capitulations in a row, however good for the Australian psyche, is not something I really want to see.

 

[Spark]

I'll say it again - we aren't actually, in terms of the scoreboard, that far above par given that this is Adelaide. Two wickets tomorrow morning and the game isn't far from even IMO. FFS this is Adelaide, where 450 isn't amazingly safe.

Not often in a 4 test series that all bar 2 bowlers (from either side) outscore a no.3 batsmen either.

Has to be Dorries that asked that question. Ponting's reaction was great too; imagine that being the first question you got after knocking up 140*.

 

[Spark]

Or Conn. Both of them ****s.

 

[Top_Cat]

To be honest, I've only met one journo who isn't a ****. Bit biased perhaps, I played some cricket with him.

 

[adub]

He did inside edge one yorker just past leg stump and on to the boundary. Not recalling much else from him.

 

[Shri]

4-0 here we come.

Indeed.

 

[Son Of Coco]

These field placements are terrible.

Maybe Brett Geeves was right.
