2nd Test: Australia v India at Sydney Jan 3-7, 2012

[aussies1st]

At last Clarke double 100 on the SCG in it's 100th test match, what a fairytale!

 

[roofromoz]

Has it been more than 5 minutes since anyone on 9 has said anything about Clarke's bat sponsorship?

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Brilliant double hundred

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

A captain's knock.

Where are all the wankers who wanted Katich over Clarke :lol:

 

[Leagueaddict]

Great 200!

 

[Fast Eddie]

Perfect opportunity for Clarke to get 300, first Aussie since Hayden bullied Zimbabwae?

 

[firechild]

Not only are they keeping the scoreboard ticking, they're increasing the run rate, 5.5rpo from the last 10.

 

[Leagueaddict]

throw the house @ it!

 

[yappy]

Pup should be safe from Victorian haterz until at least Adelaide after this one.

 

[crawfs]

Supreme knock from clarke, hodgesque.

India are a rabble when things aren't going their way.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

doubt they will bat long enough or him to get 300... should be aiming for 250

 

[firechild]

I think mentally, India are on the plane home already.

A captain's knock.

Anyone who doesn't think Clarke belongs in this team, or thinks anyone in the team apart from an in form Ponting is a better batsman than him probably attended the special school.

Why not? They could bat til after lunch tomorrow.

We could bat through till stumps tomorrow, it's only day 2.


Although Derpman probably would declare now, as it may take 3 days to get them out.

 

[Twizzle]

the Pup has become a fully fledged Big Dog

I think around 550 will do, so 300 will be difficult

We could, but I just think Clarke won't drag it on for that long.

Yes. Actually, no one has scored 300 in a test match at the SCG - the highest score is 287.

Hopefully this knock makes the bogan haters get over their petty insecure jealous dislike of the man.

Our best batsman since Ponting was at this peak. Doing a good job as captain. Carries himself well in press conferences. Superb role model for kids.

Time the masses got over themselves and supported the bloke.
