How is the pitch playing? Is it taking much turn?

Unfortunate to be stuck at work until 6ish.

Woah, hold the phone, I come across as a conservative? Jesus.

Nah he means Mark Taylor and himself (Prince)

Pretty flat, little bit there for Murali.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but was talking about Taylor and myself.

Not a lot. Good bounce though.

Even though these two seem to be teeing off, Judge Judy is on, bbl.

Clarke's opening up here. Has he finally heard us?

 

[benchmark00]

It's clear the commentary is geared towards casual fans of the game who only really follow Australian cricket, particularly when it's an ODI. I definitely get the feeling Taylor's commentary - in particular - would be a lot more insightful if he found himself on radio or on Test Match Sofa. Healy's obviously a bit different though; clearly has no idea.

Test Match Sofa is ****. Not sure why people rate it. The ****s on it aren't even funny.

LOL let's take the piss out of cricketers and people will lol hard!

 

[Burgey]

You just gave a wrap to two conservative voters in one post. What have you become?

Well if you think being called s **** is a compliment.....

I don't know how Jack or SJS vote tbf.

I went to Taylore tribute lunch in 97, before the **** disclosed he was a Tory. Wrote to him asking for my money back when he came out.

Speaking of not coming out, Peter Roebuck on the radio

 

[Ruckus]

Damn, Clarke was looking good...

 

[Spark]

Haha, and in opening up he throws it away.

 

[Jono]

Go away Benchy

 

[Prince EWS]

Clarke out to that ****house cut shot he plays. Really surprised he doesn't get out to it more because he really plays it terribly.

Completely agree.

A failure here could mean Mr Cricket becomes Mr Retirement.

 

[Prince EWS]

It'll be interesting to see what sort of score Australia can get from here, mainly from a Michael Clarke debate standpoint. Is a run-a-ball 30 from him worth more than 100 (125) in the context of this lineup?

 

[andyc]

Heh, was just about to post how Clarke was actually scoring well. Hopefully it's an encouraging sign for the rest of the series.

Dodgiest shot, don't know why he doesn't fix it. Used to be very good at it when he got up really high. Now it's more of a slash.

I hope they don't use one day form as any sort of basis for selecting him in the Test team because he's maintained his ODI performances throughout his decline over the past two years.
