thought you just wanted to be entertained and it was a great day of cricket etc
I cbf arguing as I won't do a very good job of it and be beaten comprehensively, but in my mind, I've won this argument.

As Spark said, rarity.
When 400+ ODIs are a dime a dozen over there, they get boring pretty quick.
When teams start making 5/480 on a day regularly, nobody will think it special.

I agree with Pews on some of what he has said, but the reason people have been going on about this particular innings is that he has scored 3 other huge knocks this year and this one has come at an extraordinary rate...it's like a cumulative praise for the season he has had
if this knock had come from hussey, much less would've been said about it because it would've been his 1st double of the yr
not many are looking at this knock in isloation. we are all biased and we admire a knock more when it has come after good pervious performances..
the previous excellent performances of clarke make the current one seem even better...
15, 6, 12, 0, 71, 6, 201
201 wud receive less accolades..

If it's anything less than 400 I will crucify them for batting terribly. Fully expect to have to come in here and do exactly that though; the cricket gods are never kind to me immediately after I have a huge rant about something.

For the good of cricket imo. So we don't see any more rubbish innings like today on flat decks and poo Indian attacks.

Having a huge rant about how flat Adelaide is should, in theory anyway, stop it being flat. They're actually digging up the pitch for next year's Test so things are looking up.

Gotta say, I feel for Mister Wright, too. He's no doubt tasting this Clarke form hard, Adelaide or not. I imagine he feels similar to how I'd feel if I had to watch Andrew Symonds hit four double tons in a year as Test captain. No wonder he doesn't post much here anymore.
