ABC Grandstand talking about Football/ AFL at the cricket

ZzZzZZZZZzzzzzzZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!

Right handed people bat left sided because their 'back hander' (in tennis) is stronger than their forehand

A few series ago, The South Africans bowled around the wicket to make the players play bottom handed shots and that drew jeers from the crowd.

You're not watching the game surely. It was a late cut when the ball should have been left alone. It had nothing to do with a block.

Go an play a game of cricket you wanker. Its called in decision. It happens when you've got no idea how to play a particular delivery.

I just dislike him. I don't enjoy watching him. He looks like a crab. But as much as I dislike him I can't say he's done a bad job in this test. The top 3 have scored runs. Hussey and Clarke have scored runs. Pretty much only Watson has failed.

I dislike Hughes. Wish he would f**k off

This is good captaincy and good batting at the moment. Really putting Sri Lanka to the sword.

When do we declare 350? 370?

Clarke needs to be careful here. He's in danger of chopping one onto his stumps.

Strike Rate is too high

A nice little 60-70 not out would be nice for Clarkey here. Big chance for Starcy too, can really get his test career going if he can grab a couple of early ones and get us on our way with the ball

I honestly think we need 400. And the way Clarke is going we could have that in another 10 overs.

Clarke now 51 off 43, it's obvious he wanted to up the scoring rate from the moment he got in. Unfortunate that our two best bats have to push like this because of the selfishness of players like Hughes.

I think something thats being heavily overlooked (especially by Bunniesderp) is the weather.

Its starting to get abit darker now and the weather could turn at any time.

Its more than likely that over the next day and a half that there will be some delay, hence while Clarke seems to be pushing for quick runs faster than normal

Thats why most sane people have been saying Australia has to up the run rate, to ensure we don't run out of time due to weather.


They way its going if wait til Clarkey gets a century thats about 5 overs away.......
