As I said before, we shouldn't be thinking declaration until at least after tea. I think being bowled out is frankly more likely. We haven't even batted 4 full sessions yet, but are leading by 290 at the start of day 3.

First order of business is to push on and get that lead up as big as we can (500+) if possible.
Second order of business is to grind the Indian bowlers into the pitch and see if we can't break Zak for the rest of the tour.

I can't see how Clarke batting on for as long as he can stay upright does anything other than help both of these aims. If we can't knock a demoralised India over in 6.5 sessions with the prospect of some cloud cover to help us swing the ball and a day 4/5 track then we don't deserve to win. I certainly don't want to give them the opportunity to induce a late collapse on day 5 chasing a small target if we give them the chance to bat with say 8 sessions to go and they can grind out a small lead. f**k em. We have the foot on their throat. We use the other foot to kick their head.

His contract was up and he decided not to renew it, don't be suprised to see him picked up by Puma who have struggled since Gilly gave it away.

Adidas bro.

And that Kohli story is a joke, he's been standing there copping it from some stupid drunk Aussies (I'm guessing the banter was of the lowest quality) I don't think there is anything wrong with a bit of a response. The Pietersen tweet was quite spot on and funny. And before this starts some whinging NZ crowds aren't particulary better. But mainly only when we play Aus.

I have a feeling that the Indians will hit back today. Like to put a dollar on tendulkar putting on a ton by lunch tomorrow

From the Kohli article:

But Kohli’s finger suggests some Indian players still feel far from welcome in this country.


Tendulkars the only one people like anyway! hahahaha

I agree, if those people can give it to him he should be able to give it back

I've been in the front row heaps of times and once they have had a few beers there is no limit to the shit they give these fielders

Why has there been no one sitting in the stand next to where the hill used to be in this test match?
