Clarke time, this is the series right here.
 
Anyone else notice how the Budge is bowling pies? I have a bad feeling about this with Watto set and Clarke to come.
 
The Aussies don't have any good spinners right? Can we hand Harbhajan over to them? He'll love the country and its people too, I'm sure. :P
 
Harbhajan should end up with figures of 0/100.

Would be aptly apt.
 
Ashwin I love ya mate. We both have the same last names as well! :D
 
Warner gooooonnnnnnnneeeee. 250 seems pretty good eh.
 
I get the feeling Bhajji must have lobbied hard to play his 100th test. I think they included him only for sentimental reasons. It helps if your mate is the skipper.
 
Ugh. Now the Aussies are making Ashwin look like an international class bowler. That's sad.
 
After this it's Henriques and the tail. Clarke still there though.

With 67 wickets after 13 tests at an average of 30, he is. Don't care if he had a bad couple of tests against Cook - he has been good every other time.

Ugh indeed.
 
Thank goodness Hussey retired. Wish Ponting had stayed. :P
 
As much as I do not care for Dhoni and his bunch, it is highly amusing to see the Aussies being so clueless so close to the Ashes. :ajmal
 
Wade is not a bad batsman, but he's scored tons of easy runs on flat pitches back home.

Spin should sort him and his inflated average of 42.66 out.
 
I think with a rank turner like this a fuller,flatter trajectory at a fastish pace is the way to go!
 
We will now see how badly we miss Hussey.
 
This performance from Aussies tells us how well Cook played.. Clarkey c'mon!!!
 
Ooh lucky, Clarke. Get him and we're set.
 
Harbhajan is the savior of Aussies now... What a joke he's turned out to!

Count. Chickens. Hatch.

Even the Poms had one bad innings before Cook took hold of them. But yeah, this Aussie team is full of Bells.

Actually his two highest Test scores have been made when nobody else could make a run, but don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.

42.66 is inflated for him though, he is a 35-40 avg batter imo
 
For an Indian ground, there is just no noise from the stands. People were a lot more louder in the series against England despite India being abysmal.
 
This is nuts. Harbhajan is releasing all the pressure from the other end.

I can recall one ton in the Windies which was okay, when was the other?

Cheers, I'll be sure to make a ton of noise tomorrow. :)
 
Just get Harbhajan off, put a pacer at his end. Even Sharma is okay, and he's got only 3 overs.
 
41.2
Harbhajan Singh to Clarke, FOUR

Get the guy off. Now.
 
"Harbhajan releases the pressure. Short and wide, Clarke is right back to cut it in front of point. That's 7000 Test runs"

What a day of milestones for the Bhaj.

Really? Because every time SRT fields I have to lower the volume on the TV mate. :yk
 
Knowing Dhoni, he'll still get all four tests regardless.
 
Tim: "Congratulations to Ashwin. His efforts today have brought his career bowling average below Nathan Lyon to now have the best record of all the spinners playing this game."

Afridi gives runs, but takes wickets as well, atleast looks like he's trying hard... Harbhajan is just ridiculous

My point is he's being kept on continually at one end in the hope of picking up the odd inevitable wicket to justify another game or two.

Bet that's what will happen. Will catch Henriques slogging into long on and "he's on the verge of form" will be the mantra of the management.

Here has come the day when Henriques is playing tests for the Australian cricket team.
