Need to bet how many bruises he getsEdit clearly not focusing

 

[benchmark00]

Instead of having this when he first got in he had JP Duminy....

 

[Burgey]

I think this deck might start keeping a bit low by late day three or so. A couple haven't bounced much already. Need a big first dig here and pile the pressure on.

Yeah this is more like a day 2.5 pitch than a first day pitch.

Jeez Clarkeh struggling here........can't remember the last time he looked this uncomfortable.

 

[Spark]

This must be fun to face. Absolutely no way you can get out of the way - especially if it isn't really bouncing - and I'm not sure Clarke wants to play at too many either.

 

[benchmark00]

That's gotta be a broken ****in arm.

Looked far worse than this at the Oval.

EDIT: Also looked really, really bad at the start of his innings at Old Trafford, even though he made 180 there.

 

[ajdude]

man clarke's gonna make 400 here isn't he

 

[Spark]

Steyn's done his right hammy btw.

 

[Adders]

Wonder if Jimmy Anderson is having a little chuckle right now.

Brisbane day one.

He's actually not playing the ball all that badly. It's the lack of bounce that's causing the problems really. Has to assume it will bounce as you'd expect, and there's very little time to adjust when it doesn't.

Still, you'd rather wear it than get out I suppose.

at least he didn't do his wrong hammy. #latenightajdude

 

[ajdude]

reckon clarke should try batting left handed here.

 

[benchmark00]

Scott Gumbleton is the sub fielder.

 

[Burgey]

So glad I've missed a lot of #latenightajdude.

 

[Spark]

Clarke is showing a lot of leg stump here...

 

[Spark]

Oooohh ****

 

[benchmark00]

Is that jaw?

 

[Burgey]

That's chinned him
