Ahh mate he's a jumped up, short arse, gobby racist.  I dont like the word HATE and try not to use it but he gets it.

Ambrose and Walsh were what aggression was all about, just glare at you and let the ball do the talking.  They'd knock you on the head, pick the ball up, walk back and come and do it again next ball.  Best two openers I have ever seen.

One of the finest innings I've ever seen.

But not even the best he's played in the last two months which is just... staggering.

Bloody hell that is staggering. 329 not out.  Ive only watched little bits of his innings, very small bits but fuck me he made it look piss easy out there.  I wish he'd got to 381 though and knocked big nose off the top.

Btw Sparky, happy birthday for next week.  What am I on about? How do I know etc?  Look at our 'registered days', divide by 365, and count the remaining days left over.  Next Weds I believe sir

To be honest if I had been in Clarke's position on this day I would have found it very tempting just to keep batting, push for 400. Break almost every record in the book by that point. One test in hand so it's a relatively safe move, plus 12 months from now no one is really going to care about the outcome from the test, but 50 years from now people will still make mention of such a knock.

I agree Jaekus, he never looked like getting out, I did see an Injun drop a catch in the slips a few days ago, not sure if it was off Clarkey though.  But yeah, fuck everything else, just carry on batting and biffing the fuck out of it, break the records, make a real name for yourself, you may never get this oppo again

Yeah look at his test career, he had never cracked 200 before yesterday. I was totally thinking the same thing, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Im just chuffed to bits for him, I dont care what colour he is, where he's from, wether he has a stupid name or not he always comes across as a nice fella to me so well done to him and hope he never does it against England as I want to carry on liking him.

Nah there were no drops in the slips. Sharp c+b chance when he was on 182 but that was it.

I'd have liked to see him push on too but tbf he did look pretty knackered at the end and 329 is plenty of highlights to be going on.

haha my actual birthday is next week as well

but seriously. it was lara-esque in the way that he just made batting look so ridiculously easy. "i want to hit a four" - walks across and flicks in the air over midwicket. just awesome. it's not the first time he's batted like this year (it's the fourth - absurd run a ball 60 on a square turning dustbowl in galle, where he was lofting over midwicket against the turn, similar knock two tests later but a hundred on a much easier deck, that 151 in cape town which is the best i've seen in aages, and now this) but it's the longest i've seen him do it.

Sehwag ya silly sausage, what are you doing?

I can only pressume its a 'dead ball' as it hasnt come forward from the back foot crease.  Even so Id like the opportuinty to smash it 'hockey style' for 4 as I can only hit a cricket ball like a hockey ball.  Across the line and cow-ish

These last couple test series have made me fall in love with cricket all over again. I'm half tempted to return back to my old club. Only problem is it gets rid of a whole saturday, so I play a bit of indoor instead.

What a game Clarke is having. Has that knock, as captain, then takes Tendulkar. There's going to be a few beers drank when this is over.

Was a cracking ball too, although not as good as the one that got Laxman - that was nigh on unplayable. Clarke *might* have kept it out, but anyone else...

Clarke, man of the match... well, that was pretty obvious. It'll be interesting to see how the next test goes at the WACA.

As I have just written on BJ's Facebook.  I only saw a little bit of the first session, why was the ground so empty?

My fav player is Tendulkar, he just goes about it the right way.  I so wish he'd get his 100 and just crack on with his career.

Match all but over, work day, threat of rain, Day 4. Not especially surprising.

Pretty good catch.

Too bad it's 20twenty where wickets don't really count for much.

Ive seen a few catches like this, almost pulled one of myself but this is one of the best examples of this I have seen, his body angle when he releases the ball makes it that even more special.

Would be daft tbh. Pakistan's test side is good against SLA and you have the best three-man seam attack in the world ffs, use it.

Bresnans fucked. (not sure if you were including him).  These wickets might not be so pacey we dont know.
