EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
Earlier than I would have thought. The weather forecast no doubt played a part.Declaration???
Very early declaration. Pro active.
I would've thought they'd keep batting and let Wade get his ton. Maybe just bat for ages and try and bowl Sri Lanka out twice.
As opposed to scoring at a run a ball like the last hour?

Quality declaration. 450 is heaps, and there is a good chance we will lose more of this game to rain. We now have plenty of time to bowl them out twice, and if we do end up needing more runs, we can just head out and get them.
I can't believe people are thinking this is pro-active.. its called a normal declaration. Honestly the Clarke circle jerk is getting boring.

That second part only works if Aus bowl them out under 250 and force the follow-on.Quality declaration. 450 is heaps, and there is a good chance we will lose more of this game to rain.

When I saw the rain at lunch, I was thinking 450 straight up. It isn't a massive score, but Sri Lanka are not a great side. There is also the potential to lose more time to rain in the next few days and while it is potentially overcast for the rest of the day, they can get early movement from the ball.I don't think many would have declared yet, being the first innings. 450 isn't a massive score.
I like the way Clarke doesn't muck around with declarations and gets on with the game. It might backfire one day though, maybe even this test if Sri Lanka pile on a big score past 500.

We need years more of it to make up for the anti-Clarke dribble I've read on Bigfooty until he's forced them to shut upI can't believe people are thinking this is pro-active.. its called a normal declaration. Honestly the Clarke circle jerk is getting boring.
