Gambhir's thigh pad is massive

No.

Clarke has declared at 4/659.

Hussey 150*
Clarke 329*

Evidently personal records are secondary.

I know he has, by the time I submitted my post declaration was done and I just logged in after declaration took place.

Haha exavtly my thoughts

Sehwag's instincts led him to flash wide of off stump.

Again.

Warner takes a great diving catch.

[Village Trundler]

Selfless, but also needless - more than enough time in the match to force a result - I reckon he's bottled it!

I think its part of his "please don't hate me so much" image makeover cricket Australia are giving him.

Working too.... He'd probably have walked if he nicked it too (after getting to 300).

Great turnaround for Australia--- simply mindboggling: congrats to Clarke.

Let's see if India can make a match out of this. Been so disappointed that went to sleep for a few hours after my conference.

BCCI: Look at this and learn a lesson, please

And India's practice bowler gets another wicket

Yeah--- I remembered someone mentioning that; who said it by the way?

[Number4]

Can't remember

Bloody Haddin drops another one. Waist/shoulder height and he didn't get anywhere near it, going through his gloves.

He keeps dropping catches, doesn't score runs, but some how keeps his spot in the team. What a joke. Looking forward to Wade coming in.

You said the same thing about couple of other guys and look now what they have done; at this rate Haddin might score a century next game

If Tim Paine was fully fit, who would you prefer out of the two?

Wade is a good prospect with the gloves but I think his batting is set up for one day cricket

Paine would be atm if he was fit, so Haddin is lucky. But I think Wade is a better prospect that Paine and Haddin IMO.

Wade averages 40.16 over his 74 innings in 50 FC matches, with a strike rate of 49.51, which isn't really a strike rate of a one day style of player. So far this season he has scored 316 runs in 6 innings, and is averaging 63.20 with a strike rate of 51.88

So he is deffinately well equiped and has been showing solid form this season. Only problem is that FC is on hold for the Big Bash League, so he isn't able to show what he has got while Haddin is clearly struggling and more just filling in a place till someone better comes along, a la Wade.

Hartley would be the best keeper in the comp, but his batting has left something to be desired so far this year.

The sooner they get Wade in, the better, as he is still young at 24. Haddin wont be playing in the 2013 Ashes, so they should start grooming the next keeper, which I think should be Wade.

[Vic Nicholas]

Haddin used to be a safe keeper who could bat like a champ.

Now he is struggling with the bat and that has effected his confidence with the gloves.

That drop today off Gambhir was unforgivable. A keeper in park cricket would have held it.

Time is up.
