[Johnners]

Wade! Superb stuff

Wade tonned up, grats!

 

[TumTum]

Everyone on the boundary rope, but he still gets 2 4s

 

[Cabinet96]

Whhhyyyy are you declaring? FFS!

 

[AlanJLegend]

Awesome innings by Wade, this is incredible stuff!

Still not sold on the idea of him batting at 6 though. Not because I don't think he is capable (there is no question that he is) but having Johnson or somebody like Maxwell at 7 is a bit light-on batting wise.

 

[Jayzamann]

Thought it would be very tough once Lyon went, but this little partnership was great to watch.

Think this declaration is pretty good, but we'll see. If a wicket falls before lunch then yes.

 

[morgieb]

Odd declaration. Still got half the game to go!

However, we really shouldn't lose here. They need 300+ and a blinder from Herath at the very least, and I only really see them getting 200-ish.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Whhhyyyy are you declaring? FFS!

On the grounds that Wade is hurting, I'd imagine (must have been a twelfth-man message involved there) plus the momentum change of batting for 15 minutes before lunch.

Probably one of those times where the statistics say absolutely no, but the moment says yes.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Huss to keep in his last Test?

 

[aussie tragic]

Wade only the 5th Aussie WK to score 2 Test hundreds.

Also the quickest after his 15th innings

Gilchrist (21 innings)
Haddin (27 innings)
Marsh (33 innings)
Healy (79 innings)

Hughes? He kept for that over Wade bowled, didn't he?

 

[Prince EWS]

Huss to keep in his last Test?

Hughes and Warner would both keep before Hussey I reckon, unless the 'last Test factor' was actually considered.

well the idea is you pick a keeper at 7

 

[Spikey]

wade dropping a catch or two would be great. would make this a ripping #wade4six game

 

[benchmark00]

Gun declaration. Hope Starceh rips in.

Wade at 6, Paine at 7...?

 

[hazsa19]

Swear the fear of batting 20 minutes before close/tea/lunch is overplayed by the media.

Warner? Never heard of him keeping much, at least Hussey has filled in at FC/List A before.
