Day After Day After New Year Test: Australia v India @ Sydney (Tue-Sat)

[BorisDawg]

50 run partnership, three boundaries in a row. Be good to see these two be there at the end of the day.

 

[aussie1st]

Michael Clarke masterclass.

 

[beez]

The best of those previous 4 deliveries was the leave.

 

[Scootyb]

Clarke only tries when he needs a new sponsor....

Just like Michael Johnson plays a good game when he's coming out of contract

 

[BorisDawg]

Every time I see that Cowan dismissal, it seems to get further and further outside off stump...

 

[BACCS]

Michael Clarke masterclass.

He is looking bloody good at the crease now, just need these two to stick around until the end of play.

lol @ comment in one our daily papers

"Pleased to see that Pattinson has taken the feedback on board from yesterday's fiasco and done his very best to ensure that none of the Indians has to wait around longer than 15mins after padding up today" gottimyes

 

[Scootyb]

And s**t Cowan was stiff with that lb, hes batting on off and takes a stride, that should create more than enough doubt imo

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

What the **** was that?

Yep, he's certainly playing dominant cricket atm. Nice to watch.

Same here and I thought it was plumb first up.

Brad Haddin as nightwatchman?

 

[Scootyb]

Lololol

 

[BorisDawg]

Brad Haddin as nightwatchman?

Makes sense to send in your number 11, I suppose.

 

[damochandler]

I reckon it's been a good day of cricket. Good cricket pitch as well

 

[Gak Attack]

Brad Haddin as nightwatchman?

Nah you need the night watchman to be able to hang around for a couple of overs normally.

 

[aussie1st]

Brad Haddin as nightwatchman?

He'd be a s**t one, probably see him chasing the first ball he faces.

 

[Plugger35]

Sodoku time.

Not a bad move, Indian quickies aren't doing much.

There is a unhealthy attachment to the run rate from the commentators.

T20 and ODI habits creeping in? All you ever hear about from them in the limited overs stuff.

Well he's not useful anywhere else in the order

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Punter's balance is looking good.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Brad Haddin as nightwatchman?

Charge down the pitch 1st ball yeah?

Ponting looks like he is on his way to another majestic 65

 

[stewie griffen]

Well at the rate Marsh is oing.. Hadds to number 3?

 

[BACCS]

There is a unhealthy attachment to the run rate from the commentators.

A run rate of over 4 is pretty damn good for a Test match though, especially given the circumstances when Ponting and Clarke came into bat.
