I'm hating that I can't watch the game. At work and following the live scores. This is a superb innings by Punter and Pup.

Scores all level, time to build a 200+ lead

7 wickets to create a big lead, this could well be an innings win.

Should be aiming for it. Won't get any better to bat on and the Indian's heads are down. If it goes late into day 4 or day 5 though I reckon Ashwin could really pose a danger if we have to chase anything over 150. Also don't want Sachin batting on this pitch until it starts breaking up a bit. Perfect for batting right now.

At 3/37 who would have picked 3/200+?

2 tons coming up

Double 87......

Both should be looking at big hundreds, we need to get that ruthless streak back.

 

[El Diablo]

what a surprise that a certain bunch of people are missing

Awesome stuff watching Ponting and Clarke go tit for tat, racing each other to a century.

wait till we lose a wicket

Ponting in the nervous 90's...hang in there

 

[firechild]

200+ partnership would be nice. It's not too far off either.

 

[aussies1st]

Cheers Zaheer for staying around the wicket for so long.

India are getting slapped all over the place. I can see them falling in a heap and getting belted 4-0 this series. Handspitter deserves his century and Clarke is just confirming he's the main man of Australian cricket.

 

[Mig2006]

Has two batsmen every reached a century in the same over? Im sure it must have happened at some time.

Not unheard of, but its not every day to see two batsmen so neck and neck in terms of strikerate etc.

Often one batsmen commands the strike and the other plays a "support role"

That almost happened last night in the SA vs Sri Lankan Test. Petersen and Kallis.

 

[Moffo]

Geez Zaheer is f**ked

 

[aussies1st]

Pup back in front.

 

[redvscotty]

My prediction of Punt, Pup and Huss to get 100's could be right!

Man, it would suck to be a Kiwi right now, thinking you'd done well by winning a test and you realise it was just the Almighty Australians just had their eyes on the upcoming 'serious' series with the Indians.

 

[Leagueaddict]

That's a shot Clarke on 97
