4th Test: Australia v India at Adelaide Jan 24-28, 2012

[Horrie Is God]

It's starting to smell a lot like Sydney..

Ponting is a champion eh... where are all those that want him dropped?

Marsh :lol:

He was given 2 years to find form. Seriously bragging about him finding form is pathetic. :roll:

 

[snoozer]

Surprised Clarke took the runs, but TBH the Indians deserved it for such a stupid f**king appeal.

any other team it's unsporting play - against these whiny merkins it's absolute gold.

:lol: not bragging, but clearly he's better than the alternatives, and one shouldn't write off a champion... I've always been clear in my view that Hussey should have been the one dumped first

 

[beads6]

I don't think Clarke should have taken the runs off the bat. Done now not a big deal at all.

What are the odds Gavaskar is blowing up right now about Clarke "deviating his course" from off to leg?

It is normally Shastri or Gangualy blowing up.

 

[Twizzle]

I wish they would blow up

a bit surprised to see Clarkey actually take that run, I think thats the first time I've ever seen that happen

 

[JJ]

poor form from Clarke... but at the end of the day insignificant apart from inferences one can make on his character - which people already have views on one way or another... I guess someone will write a column and stir people up, effigies might be burned... but at 3-0 down, it's all a bit late

Wasn't it Gavaskar making all the noise in '08 about "dropped" catches being claimed? Or was that Shastri?

 

[aussies1st]

Jeez started with Sehwag?

 

[skeepe]

:lol: good call by captain Sehwag to bowl himself first over after tea. Clarke treated that with the contempt it deserved.

 

[firechild]

Jeez started with Sehwag?

Appears to have been a good decision, at least from an Australian perspective.

 

[hineyrulz]

Legbyes FFS!!

 

[JJ]

Ponting

 

[Spanner in the works]

So Ponting hey? Hard to drop him now.

Well done. Great innings when we were in trouble.

 

[Leagueaddict]

Way to Go Punter...one of our better batsman lately!

 

[undertaker]

Congrats Punter! Record 23rd hundred in Australia

 

[aussies1st]

Flood gates have opened for Ponting. Well done.

 

[Twizzle]

nice one Punter
