Cmon pup get 300 before i have to go to the airport.

 

[Moffo]

Clarke about to hit the highest score ever at the SCG

 

[Moffo]

112 year record gone! Wouldn't be many of them still standing

 

[woodyk2]

Awesome knock.

 

[ElectricEelMan]

Clarke's 293 is now the equal 28th highest individual score in test cricket!
Sehwag also scored 293.

 

[Moffo]

Awesome

 

[dogslife]

Surely Clarke has gotta be thinking 300 then hit out/declare

 

[Twizzle]

I'm just about to............................you know

 

[firechild]

No declaration for at least 1 more session. No reason he can't reach 350+ before a declaration.

Superb from Clarke, he is going to be superb for us over the next 5 years maybe more.

 

[dogslife]

Hit out at least. A lead of 400 is awesome, and although they're not in the best touch, India definately have the calibre of batsmen capable of batting it out for 2 days. I'd hate for this match to end in a draw, however unlikely it is

 

[firechild]

They'll get another 100 before tea I'd say and that shoudl be enough.

Clarke to get 300 and then throw the bat, make them pay a bit more in the field and then declare and move in for the kill... Should definately declare by tea.

I think that would be the plan, hopefully get quick runs and declare once Haddin is out to keep the bowlers fresh. Supposed to be rain around tomorrow?

Dunno, hope not

 

[firechild]

Scattered showers, nothing too serious.

 

[Horrie Is God]

I wouldn't declare until about an hour or so before stumps..Give the Indians an hour of play with the new ball where they are just looking to survive..

Plus i want to see how many Clarke & Huss can get..

That leaves us 2 days plus a challenging hour or so to bowl them out..

If we cant bowl them out in 6.5-7 sessions it won't be Clarkes fault.

He's got every right to go to 350-400.
