Day After Day After New Year Test: Australia v India @ Sydney (Tue-Sat) Part 3

[PrideOf]

And that's it.

yeah it would be a waste if we draw. but if we have ~190 overs to bowl them out and can't do it, then that's the bowlers fault. not clarke's for batting too long.

i'd declare and give us about 8-10 overs at the end of the day.

But you would also want to put more pressure on India by giving them alot longer to survive at the crease to get a draw

But in the past when a player has scored big and the game is a draw that batsman gets the blame

Oh they declared? I thought it was tea

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Clarkey waddya doing son.

400 for the taking and seven and a half sessions to go.

Fabulous knock.

 

[deledio7]

Unselfish declaration by Pup. I like.

 

[FlyingBurittoBro]

declared. There you go. A bit premature? Unselfish?

 

[Little Jerry]

Damn wanted to see Clarke get 400.

 

[Drummond]

Noooo, why??

I would've keep batting until 10 mins after tea. I would've made them stay out there as long as possible, wouldn't have declared even at tea to keep them guessing.

 

[Speck]

Wow can't believe that.

Really would've though he'd look at 400.

 

[tigerfansince86]

Sif declare, changing channels now lol

 

[outabounds]

Sorry but thats a "I'm going to impress everyone that i'm a team man-try hard" declaration.

 

[BluesMan]

Watch the hate grow for pup again

 

[The_Reaper]

f**K off

Why declare?

 

[Tulip]

Selfless but stupid

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Very selfless, only a handful of runs away from the Australian record. I just hope he didn't do it to be selfless, because we have so much time left in this game.

 

[Keys]

Surprising declaration there. No ****ing idea why

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Stupid.

But Clarke's doing everything right atm so whatever.

 

[Plugger35]

Surprising declaration, thought they would at least bat on until tea with Clarke having a crack at 400.

Indians must be relieved to get off the field

 

[Quinz]

Why Pup?

 

[Killer eagle]

Selfish. Im sure Huss wanted 200

 

[Zeke]

I guess pre-orders on the new Puma PUP 329 will available soon...

 

[beez]

Clarke was obviously thinking about his average, those red inks are very important.

 

[DamoESP]

Bugger, was hoping to see him hit 400...didnt look like getting out at all.

Oh well, maybes his saving his best till next week when I can watch him at the WACA

 

[eddiesmith]

Good declaration, **** India need nearly 500 runs just to make Australia bat again, they have plenty of runs and makes Indias task even harder by having to survive 7 1/2 sessions

 

[PrideOf]

Clarke's average goes from 45.81 to 48.65.

 

[deledio7]
