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

We want to bat again, unless you think having our bowlers bowling in 2-3 days of 38c is a good plan.

Yes, a better plan than letting them scrape out a draw for the sake of saving our bowlers for a session or two.

Taylor got 90 in the second dig as well, probably proof if he had time he would have gotten close to 400 but this Adelaide test could have a similar fate if we bat too long.

You're essentially talking about having the same amount of time to bowl them out twice, but without giving your bowlers a rest. 10 sessions broken up with a 3-4 hour break in the middle is much better than 10 sessions straight in 38 degrees.

But that plan could let them scrape out a draw due to fatigued bowlers.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Beaker should have swallowed that.

Instant karma little slow on the reflexes there!

 

[Horrie Is God]

10 session? 8 session I meant.

CLARKEY! Oh yeah!

Should be batting at #3 in the West Indies tour. Cowan, Warner, Clarke, Ponting, Watson, Hussey would be the top 6 in the batting line up I'd be going for.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

All hail our great captain

 

[Horrie Is God]

Go Pit Bull..

This feels like deja vu. Better than the deja vu feeling of being bowled out for less than 150 over the last few seasons. Good to see our batsmen finally cashing in on starts to make hundreds.

What's the Australian record, have they passed it?

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Captain Pup another amazing knock

If Ponting makes 200 would that be 6 or 7 doubles for him? About 3 or 4 at Adelaide and a few against India as well

Deja vu all over again??..

It's Don Clarke's summer..

Ponting looks very comfortable, not looking good for the Injuns

Shot Pup, making 200s for fun now.

Very doable.

Clarke has well and truly outscored Handspitter here. Times have changed.
