Just watched some of the highlights of clarkes innings. Great Knock. His mrs isnt bad either. Commentators/ Cameraman took a liking to her i think

[Manormanic]

Exactly my point. They should be introducing players into the test game (or forcing them to go out and play county cricket etc) to get more experience (in my opinion). Other wise India will be replacing some pretty big holes soon just as the aussies did when warne, mcgrath et al retired

is that why said folks (MacGill as well) are playing the BBL?  Or is it to try and keep youngstrs AWAY from T20 by filling all the spots?

i think she even managed to fake a tear at his 200 lol. commentators said she knows nothing about cricket but with clarke as her other half she has no choice. atleast shes trying. why arent there more women like that in the world? lol

It's good to see marsh has worked on a few strategies to stay fit through the series!

[Manormanic]

how much cardio does it take to bat six balls twice in five days?

Harsh but fair. These are uncommon dismissals for him (nicking defensive shots outside off stump) he'll be fine.

I think McDermott has done wonders with the bowlers & the batting is coming along, Clarkes last 10 tests would rival anyone and his captaincy is very good. The new admin is streets ahead of the Hilditch lead crew which let us down terribly.

Give it another 12-18 months or so for  newcomers to get some tests under their belt.

Re Clarkes bat sponsor, there's a vacancy @ Adidas given Bells departure? Big stuff up by slaz IMO the brand has gone massively backwards from mid 90's.

[Nickauger]

Rumours are that Adidas are not making bats next season and therefore won't be sponsoring anyone.

They've got a few Eng boys Prior, Morgan, Bairstow. But yeah nothing like they used to be in the Stewart, Butcher, Hick days. Kookaburra or GN I reckon Adidas have given up on bats havent they?

Interesting. Front runners might be Kook & GN, but I thought perhaps Adidas might be going to do an MRF when they had SRT, Waugh & Lara

[Colesy]

So, in my mind no need for Aus to declare until gone 700. What do people think?

[The_Bird]

I can't see India batting out two days, pattinsons current strike rate suggests that is impossible. Aus could bat all day in my opinion If Clarke makes it to lunch I'd bank on him going past Lara's 400*. He won't get a better chance I don't think.
