So Clarke's plain bat, will that be auctioned of for the McGrath foundation or whatever?

If he did cop a lot of abuse then I hope the idiots in the crowd copped a fine also, it's BS that players have to put up with any of that.

Doubt it. If Symond's could stay out there while the whole Indian crowd called him a monkey and scratched their arm pits everyone else can harden up a bit.

Declared, bah. Should have just gone for it 20/20 style.
Same here. lol
Amazing scoreline to wake up to.
I'm well on record as not liking Clarke, but its impossible not to respect his attitude and effort this test match. There would have been people calling him selfish if he batted on, but I wouldn't have. I would have loved to see him get 401+. With an impotent Indian attack, that was likely.
Also, irfan - I nearly gave you a chance since you were talking reasonably civilised during the first test (hell, you outdid salazar). But today you have shown your true character. Stop being a fool just because you're a bad sport. I can tell you're preemptively setting up this test match to be called (by you only) the "Sydney Shame 2". Obviously that name only fits for you when India get thumped.

Same, I wanted that and I wanted to get past 705 to beat the best SCG score that India holds from 2004.
Just defending myself from continual (and I suspect, wilful) misinterpretations.
I still can't come around on Tubby to be honest. Don't love him, don't hate him. At least he's improved his vocal delivery, boy that used to give me the shits.

LETS DO DIS!
Hope India give it a good crack.

When you compare him to the newer breed of commentators, i.e Slats & Heals, he is an everyday Richie B
Gambir is not messing around, 4, 4
LOL, that always made me laugh.
Newer breed? Those three started around the same time.

Old Tubs is nothing compared to Brad Fitler on the 9 NRL coverage, I have never been able to understand a single fucking word he has said, thank god it's only the sideline chime ins.
Heals did, but Slater was way later, and Healy is really the first of the new breed that can't stop dribbling shit. Tubs is the last of the old guard, they just overlapped.
Yeah, wouldn't mind watching a session or two of cricket on Saturday.
If it gets to the third session I'll be pretty stressed though.
Healy started in 1999 too right? Anyway, most Channel 9 commentators are terrible. Slater is one of the better ones. It's embarrassing how much better the Grandstand commentary is, but then I guess they have to be.
Good going bro, join chicko's company in that category.
Drop him.Fucking hell can Warner catch.
I hope this test can atleast get into the second half days play tomorrow and see if Lyon can impress.
FU Kohli
Arent you supposed to abuse his mother and sister? Stay classy Australia.
I suppose they could have been racists like crowds in India were towards Symonds. Would that be more to your liking?

I never implied he was the best batsmen, learn to read
. You're the one trying to say that Tendulkar is just another regular 50 average batsmen. I'm saying that is complete bullshit and you have done nothing to show otherwise (other than make up some crappy stats which i showed were wrong, oh and your silly anecdote about not liking a century you saw him hit).Are we really going to do this? Do i have to drag out all the people who say that Tendulkar is the best batsmen since Bradman? You're clutching at straws here.
Than what the fuck is the list for? The list is for the top 5 players of the last century end of story. The players you listed spent the majority of their careers playing this century so of course that's going to affect things.
I'm well aware of that. I was just pointing out how stupid it was to use a list of the best players from the last century to explain why players who have spent most of their careers in this one don't belong.
Um Tendulkar has achieved plenty of things that no other batsmen has been able to achieve ever. Kallis has also ahiceved things no other player has ever managed to do.
Also you haven't actually defined what you need to do to make this list. You're just making shit up as you go along.
I'm a fucking Australian you moron and plenty of the people who talk Tendulkar up aren't Indian. The fact that you think this shows how much of insular and biased you really are.
What a pathetic and dumb cheap shot. How is this relevant to anything i have said? Where did i say Tendulkar was the best because of one innings?
I like how you just gloss over the fact that i completely destroyed your arguments in your last post and your blatant lying in regards to Tendulkars batting stats.
But hey you just keep moving those goalposts and trying to find reasons to talk Tendulkar down. What will be your next bullshit stat to try and make Tendulkar look worse than he is.
Way to play the race card.
It was a bunch of dickheads in the crowd, not all of Australia.
Kohli responding was justified but at the end of the day, he is the one that is in the public eye and has to defend his decisions.
The pitch is obviously flat as a tack.
Obviously India can't win but they may be able to eke out a draw. You can never underestimate the quality of Tendulkar and Dravid, despite the latter's patchy form of late.
It would be kind of disappointing for Indian fans seeing Tendulkars 100 100's in a game in which they are no chance.

Bad apples & cowards are everywhere, just see this thread.
Btw I would have fucking applauded if Symonds gave those crowds his middle finger and some more.
11 overs in, 1 wicket down already with a lead of 420+ runs and 2.25 days of play left, already underplaying Australia's bowling attack. NICE!!!
There is only one possible result from here on.

BTW you do realise no formal complaint was made about crowd behaviour yesterday?
Misunderstood your post .. watching in one tab and posting in another cant be done simultaneously.
So Kohli was lying?

Ghambir actually looks half decent day. In all his other innings you always felt like his wicket was right around the corner.
Such a big session coming up this afternoon.

Really? I didn't get that vibe at all. I mean Matty Hayden is sitting there on 380, and there's no way he was going to bat that long.
Also, there really is no reason to flip the crowd the bird, as hilarious as it is. With the dozen security guards on the boundary, if something offensive was said he could just point the guy out. Then they get rightfully hit with the ban stick.
He should have made a complaint. In Australian football games, you can be evicted for abusive language, and that's a far more heated event than test cricket
Not everyone is a Tendulkar or a Dravid or Dhoni .. Kohli is young and hot blooded. He'll learn to exploit the system eventually.
I like him as he is currently.
And yet you pile on cowan for not liking being dismissed.

India all out for between 250 to 320.
I think 350.

Gambhir is in rare firm though.
Could be a good come back to earth innings for Pattinson. Should do him wonders
lol i was going for that but I will stick to my prediction so far I have good record
Hah, we'll see. Watch it be 450 or 200
