That was fantastic. Test cricket is the nuts, every other format is a training run.

I actually thought the Aussies were done at tea. Pretty amazing that after 4 and 2/3 days of cricket that all 3 possible results were still in play.
Test cricket > t20 > ODI.
brilliant work by Lyon.
Clarke admits could've been his last game of cricket.
how can you put t20 in front of ODIs? its trash
How's old vijays form, 99 and goes back onto his stumps and completely misses it. Although it wasn't as good as him shouldering arms to the exact same delivery.
Does Erasmus have arthritis in his or something? Umpires like a 3rd grade club player, "no LBWs today lads"
Jaliens gives me the horn
blokes a star. great to watch.
enjoyed him giving the Aussies the large ones as well.
I've been enjoying Rahul Dravids on the ABC wireless. loved watching him bat.
seems like a thoroughly decent fella.
Bunch of places saying Smith is set to be announced as captain today.
Can't imagine that's a good indication for Clarke's future. Reckon he might announce his retirement too.
Most likely for the rest of this series for Smith. Reckon its a great decision to go with him as opposed a bloke like Haddin/ Watson who are only stop gap. Better to go the long term option and give him a taste of it now than throwing him in the deep end in a couple of years time and actually fast track his preparedness for the gig FT
Clarke will be right soon enough anyway from his hammy issue. So its a bit premature to say he is retiring.
Might even see him take an extended break from play for treatment /surgery to sort his issue out properly. Your a long time retired and the blokes reflexes etc are at a level he should still have another 5 years of test level in him. Even if he site it our 6 months/year plenty of cricket left for him. Surely their is something that can be done somewhere in the world to sort his issue out. It ain't like he has a spinal cord severance or something that your ****ed with
Torn right hamstring, niggling left hamstring issues, back issues... I reckon he might call it quits.
i reckon he should be dropped. honestly, it's not even certain he can last a T20, how can he possibly be picked again for a test?
Injury may well be a good excuse to pack it in. Will though come down to hunger to keep playing and what not. He can work through his issues to get another few years from the game if he wants
Big Issue will be the Phil Hughes situation and the emotional burdens with that.
Now he ain't playing/getting through the funeral et and sits around his house out of the public eye the whole shit might come crashing down and he just decides he wants to do something else NOW
He retires he'll get picked up by Channel 9. He speaks very well.

He speaks far too well to be stuck in the box with some of the muppets that are there.
I hope he can take over from Mark Nicholas. He shits me to tears

The blokes an idiot. How did he even get the gig ?
fixed that for you.
Give up on the way $7-$10m per he's earning?
Not bloody likely.
even with no hammys he's a gazelle compared to big Inzy and that bloke played forever.
