FFS.
I kind of wish Sunshine had been out second ball. Like he should have been.

 

[lockyno1]

Not really, was a tough chance.

he was dropped twice, the first one was a t20 shot considering how early in the innings it was. you give it to clarke for those type of brain exposions, well well well Sunshine does them too. Luckily he was dropped again, this time by Kamran Dhoni

Sunshine Hate is getting old, you may hate Him and that is fine but you can't doubt the talent he has and how he is the Best player the Aussies have at the moment.

I wrote ' I kind of wish Sunshine was out second ball' after the Sunshine pumping post by Locky. I am not Sunshine hating. I am Sunshine Pumpers hating. Big difference.

Fair call, Locky is a turd.

just on Clarkey, that was an ODI shot if I ever saw one, cutting a ball outside leg stump ffs

no one to blame but himself

It was a half volley outside off, he should have belted it for four, I'd be more peeved if he did not hit it!

Now will you admit he is a no5 batsman not a no4!

 

[Twizzle]

wtf does that shot have to do with where he bats ?

 

[lockyno1]

He is unable to withstand pressure. No4 should be your more stable batsman, no5 should be your strokemaker.

 

[aussies1st]

Clarke has been our most consistent batsmen so I would say hes more than stable enough.

 

[beads6]

He is unable to withstand pressure. No4 should be your more stable batsman, no5 should be your strokemaker.

Yet you want to play Ferguson at 4 who is just as much as a strokemaker as Clarke.. Also Clarkes strike rate would suggest he isn't much of a strokemaker... Get back in your box.

Would rather Ferguson than Clarke as he actually bats in the top 4 regularly. Until this year Clarke has barely batted at 4 full stop. There is a difference between 4 and 5.

mathematically yes but as far as batting goes there is virtually nothing

you cant take a no 5 and move him to No 4 and blame his batting position for his failing or success, thats just a load of sh*t

batting positions are so overrated, look at Junior and Gilly who opened in ODI and batted down the order in test cricket, means nothing

When has Clarke even had the chance to bat 4?? Only reason Ferguson has batted 4 is because he has been playing Shield cricket. Ferguson has only hit 4 centuries in first class cricket, hardly the record of a test match number 4.

I thought he trying to improve his t20 batting

He was pissed when he got out, rightly so. I think there is some needle from the indians some of our guys are letting that affect them, how the tide has changed
