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

[Meth]

150- great innings Ponting

 

[Mr Angry]

I remember Clarke's interview after his 300, he joked about how he was happy to beat Punters highest score, after that was just a bonus.

So when Punter gets to 328, we will declare.

Adelaide Oval is looking very picturesque this morning. When they first came on, it almost didn't look real

It & Table Mountain are the best backdrops in cricket IMO..

Beaker Sharma is the biggest imposter in world cricket since Muhammad Sami. I've heard people say he's been 'unlucky' but he hasn't been. He's been too short, too wide, too slow and too timid. And he's been the same for 4 years.
Khan at the other end looks like he's buggered.

Indian cricket on the slide. Couldn't be happier.

I'd love to see a record,but the state of the game doesn't allow it...Unless one of them goes all"Davey Warner"..

We've still got to bowl them out twice on a flat deck..

I would say 3 days should be sufficient for you to bowl that mob out. And, if not, you still win the series 3-0. I think that the morale boost that Clarke or Ponting beating that record would provide to this group of players would be massive.

+1..

He's a different bowler than the Sharma out here 4 years ago..

Loving it..

I agree with you..But if Clarke brushed the record in Sydney,with everything in his favour to bat on..Then he won't do it here IMO..

I'd love to be wrong though..

Yeah very different situation to Sydney. We can go past tea, but India have to be batting plenty before stumps. Very much doubt there's enough time to get near 400, but a triple is doable for one of these two.

Ugh, my morning was going along beautifully until Brayshaw joined the commentary box.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

The record doesn't mean that much to Australian cricket. Bradman's 334 and Taylor's 334no are more revered than Hayden's bully score of 380. Winning is what has mattered more to Australia than records in the past.

Meanwhile old Bill is about to have an orgasm on air.

We should be batting well into day 3, there should be left no chance to have to bat again. All assuming we don't get out.

 

[aussies1st]

BTW- premature to talk this way at the moment, but if Clarke gets in the vicinity of 400, or any of the other milestones, he bloody better well take them.

That is why he should have gone for it in Sydney. He had the best chance to go after it and still win the game. There is no chance he will get it in this match, he would need to bat into day 3 of the match and that would be putting his team's chances in more jeopardy than in Sydney.

 

[Horrie Is God]

What are the odds the Bill will actually throw out live on air??..

Geez Brayshaw is a blue vein cigar smoker.

 

[Horrie Is God]

When did Kamran Akmal start keeping for India??..

Sensational fielding outfit these Indians..

I'd be very surprised if that happens. This innings is now about scoring swiftly enough to allow our bowlers to get India out twice on a very good batting pitch.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

I think as far as viewing cricket live, Adelaide Oval is the best in Australia. Followed by SCG and Bellrive/WACA. MCG and Gabba are just too big and hard to see without binoculars.

Clarke approaching 200?
