OK I admit it........I was wrong. I thought he should have gone by now - his previous 18 mths had been terrible. After watching him today though I can say that he is back to almost his best. Right from the first ball he has been on fire. Some lovely shots, great footwork and a nice still head. A pleasure to watch.
Clarke is playing pretty good to.
Man of This Match... Punter was playing really well. You'd have to give Punter the nod over Clarke, at the moment.... Match isn't over yet...
(Assuming Tendulkar doesn't get 275 and VVS 210, along with match winning performances....)
Aussie Declaration - I would have thought at Lunch Time tomorrow, or at the latest, 30 minutes into the 2nd session. I think declarations should almost always happen during a session. I think it's important for the batsmen to continuously experience those breaks, and then head back out after the break and get established again...
