...and they keep persisting with the Kunt. Why? Why?
Faulkner would be a much better option. Can bowl well and is more than useful batsman....but no they keep fucking persisting, luckiest player evaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Couldn't agree more. Worst thing is, he will keep getting his 20's all series, then the Knut will probably get a ton in the last innings and every prick will say how good he is.

 

[Shrek]

Yep.
He did take one useful wicket today though... not enough to justify his position though.

 

[Shrek]

Well done Smith on a ton and great counter attack from Mitch.

Haddin - I think it's time to move on mate. Hasn't score a run all year and looks lost at the crease.
Tim Paine is the man, get him in there.
[MENTION=14535]Breadcooker[/MENTION]; you still a huge fan on Hads aren't you?

Aussies looking good, but one guy on ABC radio dais chasing 150 on last day is hard.

Hopefully wicket holds up.

 

[Shrek]

236 is the highest ever.

 

[spartacus]

looks like bet in on for last day; will size up night.

Backed Aussies night before last day in Adelaide, but was a bit lucky.

india were $21 and nearly won

 

[Shrek]

Would hate the Aussies to be chasing 200 on the last day.

 

[spartacus]

yes, it would be a difficult chase. If it is around 200, I think we will do it, but let us see how wicket holds up rest of day.

 

[spartacus]

two tailenders to go

 

[spartacus]

one to go

 

[Shrek]

C'mon. .knock off these runs

 

[Shrek]

Watson duck.
For the love of God please fuck him off.

 

[Shrek]

Haddin and Watson have to go.
Tim Pain or Wade to come in and maybe Cowan back in for Watson. 4 centuries for Cowan in Shield this year already.

 

[spartacus]

well done aussies

 

[Neddysmith]

Aussie Aussie Aussie....

 

[Shrek]

Yeahhhhhh. ....

Michael Clark ruined Cricket for me. I think a lot of people turned away from Cricket when he was appointed Captain of Australia.

He ain't no Marshy, Border or Boonie.

 

[Shrek]

No, he's a better player than them. Record speaks for itself.

 

[Stiffy]

No, he's a better player than them. Record speaks for itself.

You couldn't say Clark was better than Border. Border faced the might of the West Indies, Roberts, Holding, Garner, Marshall Mun at the high of their powers. Pakistan's Imran Khan and Younis and the Indians. Plus, I would say the overall competition was steeper in Border's era. Border came in many times at number 6 when Australia were out and salvaged a win.

With regard to Boonie, he still holds the most significant Ashes record: 52 cans of beer on the way to England in 1989. Still unbeaten. Bet Clarke couldn't drink half that!

Border also faced a declining Pommie team, a weak NZ team an ordinary Sri Lanka team.
Also the Indians were not that strong in the 80's.
