He looks like an arrogant little prick with the ego of Ponting.

Shows how ignorant and clueless you are. He comes across as a very professional and intelligent cricketer, especially when interviewed on how he was going in Sheffield Shield cricket and had been on the outer of the Australian squad for years.

ponting century coming up

ponting century coming up

You bastard.

 

[Yagharek]

Thats the way, clarke. Swing at every ball!

 

[Salazar]

The segways make me angry inside.

 

[artist]

What does that make you then? You don't even know him. Judging him by his looks, come on.

His reactions to the umpires on his dismissals + he post match conference interview was enough.

Methinks you are seeing what you want to see.

I would have given the ump a dirty look on that first innings dismissal though.

 

[master15]

Come back and top three are gone. Heh, great batting by our top order once more.

 

[master15]

While I am not the biggest fan of his 'personality' I got to give credit to Zaheer, he is a cagey operator.

Seeing him rely purely on his guile, on short run up with swing akin an older Wasim Akram.

 

[Grug]

Very handy knock by these two.

 

[Dead Man]

India still in with a chance, have to see how the first session goes tomorrow.

Why doesn't Ponting open, he seems to be pretty god about not throwing his wicket away at the moment.

 

[master15]

Nice, I was afraid we would lose a wicket before end of the day. Nice partnership by these two. Who knows if Pointing can kick on.

All in all, good day for Aussie, let's see if they can execute tomorrow. Until then folks...

 

[Grug]

Shame it is stumps. Those two looked very set.

 

[crazy monkey]

just woke up. Ponting is still there. Everything is well. I think they will take it to 300 tomorrow .

Just want to add love you kalis you da best.

 

[Grug]

Nice work Pup. Still not in your corner but happy to be proven wrong. Still reserve the right to call him a useless sack of crap next time he folds when the heat is on.

 

[Grug]

Puntahhhhhh! C'mon Rick, turn it into a big one.

 

[Grug]

Enjoying this partnership very muchly.

India look quite flat today.

 

[snoopen]

Aus in control, double centuries to the Captain and Ponting incoming.

 

[Grug]

In the profit zone now! Pile on those runs!

 

[legend166]

Ponting and Clarke getting it done.

 

[artist]

Innings defeat incoming.

 

[Grug]

Dhoni doesn't seem to have a clue right now.

Damage limitation mode. Conservative field.

 

[tri_willy]

congrats on ton pup... i worry for ponting

 

[AdventureRacing]

This just makes Indias performance all the more embarrasing.

 

[Rezbit]

Gotta put on bulk runs now! Great partnership from these two.

 

[DaMan121]

lol @ Ponting's 100th run.. hahaha

 

[Grug]

LMAO. Fantastic.

Dive wouldn't have saved him either.

Great ton Punter. Haters gon' cry.

 

[tri_willy]

PUNTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! well done son

 

[crazy monkey]

ponting century coming up

done. well done monkey.

 

[Andiie]

well deserved.

 

[master15]

Beautiful

 

[tri_willy]

done. well done monkey.

good call ceasar

 

[Dead Man]

Twice in a match I agree with Healy. What is the world coming too?

 

[Grug]

India overclocking the over rate now with spinners.

Just desperate to get their hands on the new ball.

 

[Grug]

150 for Clarke. Epic.

Beast mode partnership up to 282.

 

[Grug]

Take a bow Rick. Great knock. 134 middle fingers to the critics.

 

[Rezbit]

Zaheer really should stop bowling around the wicket. Not sure what the go there is.

 

[tri_willy]

pup has surpassed his highest score... could he possibly reach that double?

 

[pieatorium]

Just woke up, I figured we would't have too much trouble getting past Indias total but wow.

 

[master15]

Ah my internet is messed up (Shockwave/flash something arather?) I am missing India being mauled here

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Tea break, you're right.

 

[crazy monkey]

Did people really expected india to do good overseas? They are really really overrated. When was the last time they did good against a good team?

 

[pieatorium]

try a different browser maybe?

They always give us a pretty good run for our money out here, and I don't many people were convinced that the team that just got beaten handily by New Zealand were really a "good team".

 

[master15]

Dave: "Ponting may have silenced his doubters, but Clarke has definitly taken over. Days gone past Ricky kicks on for the double where Clarke makes a Mark Waugh esk low hundred. He certaintly has matured as a batsman, a double here will go further to silencing those who have questioned his substance over the years, myself included!"

Hey nothing wrong with Mark Waugh 100 plus score on the board and getting out to what looks like the most lazy and soft dismissal you can imagine.

I wouldn't have it any other way

Jeez, you Aussies are really begging for the underdog status.

 

[Fredescu]

Jeez, you Aussies are really begging for the underdog status.

True, I guess it was close. Getting beaten at all by NZ feels like a thrashing regardless of the margin.

 

[Yagharek]

Jeez, you Aussies are really begging for the underdog status.

To be fair, no one knew India was this bad.

 

[Dead Man]

True, I guess it was close. Getting beaten at all by NZ feels like a thrashing regardless of the margin.

So humiliating.

 

[tri_willy]

did clarke just play a steve waugh-esque shot?
