That is it. That Tendulkar/Laxman partnership was the only thing that stood in the way of victory for the Australians. Getting at least another 350 runs from hereon in is going to be nearly impossible as the pitch starts to deteriorate.

Tendulkar unlucky to be undone by genius work by Haddin. I would have liked to see him called back personally tbh.

lol..Blaming Haddin for that one. What a joke some of you guys are. No keeper in the world would have taken that.

Oh, SHUT THE HELL UP NICKELARSE! Sick and tired of him sprouting verbal diarrhoea, patronising, interrupting interviews (e.g. McGrath masterclass, interview with Clarke yesterday etc.). Sir Michael Parkinson wannabe, if you ask me, with all the fancy vocabulary. And now he said he kept his mouth shut (when Slats said "Mark Nicholas, you've remained quiet for the last few minutes) because he wanted Tendulkar to get his 100th 100 to take the pressure off everyone. Someone fed ex this git back to where he came from, and bring back Richie Benaud as anchor of the coverage.

100% agreed. Even when Mark Waugh bowled medium pace (although, he actually bowled faster than Mike Whitney when he started out in the NSW side), his bowling action was nothing like Husseys.

Lol it's a laughable comparison.

Junior had a high left arm, rocked back and gave it a rip in his younger days. Hussey strolls in like Ponting used to.

Although Haddin has been awful this Test, that was a tough catch for any keeper. Thick edge. Much tougher to take than thin edges.

Unfortunately his multiple errors this Test make that appear to be another glaring one.

Anyway, Clarke the destroyer of records.

:lol: Never kept before have you.

Actually I have, many times, however I'm not a f**king international keeper playing for Australia.

As I said, Gilchrist and Healy (or any decent keeper really) would have gobbled that up as they did many times throughout their careers.

Agreed. The drop catch that was completely unforgivable was that one just before stumps yesterday. At ANY FORM OF THE GAME (including club cricket), if you don't catch those ones, the coach will simply say "you aren't a wicketkeeper".
