Who don't you hate? Lol. As a Batsman he is 'alright'?. Are you talking about the same Clarke I am? One of the world's best Batsman. As a captain he is positive and takes the game to the opposition. So, what's wrong with that?

Ummm...No....

quite literally. who else has performed consistently in the past 10 months?

except India series ofcourse because against Indian bowlers everyone finds form.

also, Clarke has rescued Australia from 40-3 quite a few times

Hussey and Watson. Our Batting is getting stronger. Plus, if our batting lineup is reliant on one man, what does that Make India's?

I am aware of India's pathetic team these days. Kohli is the only one performing and that is only in the ODI's. In tests, Nobody is staying in the crease and forking out an innings worthy of mention

all this craze about the IPL etc has killed the flow of young players breaking through from First Class performances. There are no serious batsmen coming through the system. only T20 and ODI batsmen are coming through

Bowling is a different case altogether. That is damage beyond repair.

SRT. Greatest. ODI. Batsman. Ever.

Thank you for the memories, you legend!

What the fuck, Dhoni!! AArghh. . deserved a century. But brilliant effort nonetheless. Should shut some mouths for a while.

this what happening all the time.a series of poor matches follwed by a century will keep everyone down for a while,,, by the way is pak coming to india? thats a great news but does it mean the 5match india vs eng odi series in jan going to be canceled? one match was supposed to be in cochin which i was planning to go

If I were an Australian international I'd straight up refuse to play the Boxing Day test. I want to get loaded on Christmas.

[Mufassir08 2,400]

So today the showdown starts.Not too confident about this series tbh despite india struggling a bit.

[Ollie 4,400]

Well Pakistan won lol, that crowd looked pretty stunned after that batting collapse. Pakistans best ever Xmas.

Yeah our gentle giant really bowled well and malik and hafeez batted sensibly for a change all in all a very good performance by the team.

[Ankit 3,176]

I am amazed how the Indian authorities let a girrafe come along with the Pakistani team. Where the hell did that 7 footer came from? He was a giant.
And what a batting collapse that was form such a solid start!! But it's T20. Doesn't matter.

[Strike 7,217]

well done Pakistan. fielded better, bowled batter. apart from Bhuvneshwar Kumar, no one else really cared about the match for india. Gambhir came in and started to play a test match innings peppered with the odd wild slog. he should be kicked out imo. can't handle a bouncer to save his life. rest of the batsmen - meh. utter wank.

bhuvneshwar kumar was epic though. brilliant display of swing bowling

This is a must read article from Paddy Upton who was India's assistant coach on Sachin Tendulkar.

Whats more interesting(or scary) is that he is the smallest in his family height wise.

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Clarke has had a Bradman like year. Yet Another Hundred. Incredible player.

[Ollie 4,400]

Wow Yuvraj, fuck me he's hit like 5 6's in 10 balls or something. What a performance by him. Reminds me of that Broad over lol.

Why are bowlers so thick nowadays? Full and straight ffs why would you carry on bowling short if your getting hammered? Senseless.

India 192/5

[Ankit 3,176]

Oh ho!! That was like Yuvraj saying to Bowlers "Welcome to the Yuvi show bitches, you are getting hammered tonight" 7 sixes at a pretty big ground. Simply marvelous. . Things like these help me sleep at night better. (unless our bowlers don't fuck it up)
