Micheal Clarke scored his maiden test century in Aistralia's third ODI against Zimbadwe

A TEST century in a ODI :shock:

That must be a first EVER

 

[Twizzle]

yes well thanks for that, fixed it now.

 

[weasel]

I really like Michael Clarke and think he's a top bat but it's a great shame his first century for Australia came against such a weak side. It's still not false like Murali's test "record" as many sub-standard nations have been allowed to compete in ODIs in the past but I wish he could have brought up his maiden ton in a situation where the innings would earn the respect his talent deserves.

 

[Preniers]

Just another reason to put him in the test side.

 

[knights04]

Well done mate. Plenty more to come

 

[Preniers]

Plenty more test centuries to come as well.

 

[Craig]

Just another reason to put him in the test side.

Dont be an idiot.

Have the word's baone good season doesn't prove anything?

Anyway this is nothing more then a glorified club side.

.

Never heard of the word baone.

And go Dizzy - a 5-for

 

[goodknight_all]

was a good knock seeing as though they were only chasing 196. and i agree plenty more to come in both ODI and the test arena

 

[Macca]

Clarke will be in the test side soon enough. Well done champion.

 

[Preniers]

Whatever...just put him in there for India.

 

[goodknight_all]

mcsharkie i thought you only did this sort of stuff at work, not at home. lucky i am on duty. i reckon clarke will be one of our greats. someone for all young people to look up to.

 

[Craig]

Clarke will be in the test side soon enough. Well done champion.

And since when did he push himself in front of the likes of Lehmann, Katich and Love?

 

[Craig]

Whatever...just put him in there for India.

Which is all well and good except that place's aren't available yet.

Baggygreen's don't come in brown paper bag's because somebody has 'potential and talent'.

That is the reason why there haven't been 400 Test cricketers for Australia.

 

[goodknight_all]

them guys are starting to get on in age so nothing wrong with clarke having a go.

 

[Macca]

Craig, you are obviously not the most intelligent forum user. My statement

Clarke will be in the test side soon enough.

is in concurrence with your belief that Clarke won't get picked yet. He will be there soon (not yet). When Lehman retires (soon, not yet) Clarke will slot straight in.

Calm down mate, read each post carefully, then try not to jump to conclusions.

I can't help myself. I'm addicted. Plus you know I work too hrad to have time for this stuff at work.

Baggygreen's don't come in brown paper bag's because somebody has 'potential and talent'.

But Hookesy said they do.
