rain delay

[Feenix]

Good to see Clarke back in this morning, haven’t seen any of the action but he’s put on 25 runs so can’t be doing bad. Does he look like he’s moving well?

Some dreadful bowling to him. Short and wide outside off stump. Terrible really. We have added 51 runs this morning without the loss of a wicket. Very poor from India this morning.

AU 6/405
Captain Courageous 85*[117]
East Coast Smith 98* [171]

Clarke just 15 runs off what might be the most courageous emotional century ever played in Test Cricket

Kohli needs to wake up
Clarkes main scoring shot might be the slash outside off stump when play resumes
He needs a deep point or deep third man in place [or maybe even both]

Clarke needs to be smart as well
IF he gets to his ton, dont jump in the air and celebrate !

The three NSW born top order batsmen in this game may all score tons in this first innings

Been a rivetting test so far
Im impressed with the Indian teams attitude so far , just need to play smarter
Its a new breed of players unlike some of the sooky sides in recent times

A Smith 3 as the next scoring shot, when play resumes would = a ton and a team score of 408

[bennymacca]

Or you could just bowl straight to him.

You don't set fields for crap bowling

[stan]

Yeah that should go without saying. Stop bowling short and wide outside off!

[stan]

Play to resume at 1pm. Still a bit of drizzle around.

[mighty_tiger_79]

and the covers go back on

[stan]

and the covers go back on

Yeah just heard it come back in then. One look at the BOM and there is some heavier stuff coming in as well.

[Coach Bombay]

hasnt rained properly at all, must be on its way otehrwise they would be out there in this

[mighty_tiger_79]

play about to resume

[mighty_tiger_79]

1st ball back and smith gets a 2 to bring up his ton

[mal]

Ton to East Coast Smith
Clarke has now embraced both Warner and Smith
Lets hope Smith is out there when the skipper tons up

[mal]

Clarke single 86
6/408
The crowd gives an ovation

Come on skipper
14 more to the one of the greatest tons ever

[mighty_tiger_79]

Clarke, dancing down the pitch to the leggy and hits him straight back over long off for a 4
