Correct and I see that your guys have India down and out, great knocks from both Ponting and Clarke not to mention Hussey getting into his stride.
I expect India to roll over in their second dig, pity really, I thought that this series would be closer 😦
159. That makes his average so far for the series, 79.5. Not bad after a couple of ducks. Prodigal indeed.
Incidentally, why is Clarke’s nickname Pup? Is it a recent thing? It sounds slightly pejorative, but perhaps not.
No Sipu, it’s not new, it’s been his nickname since he joined the test team at 18. It’s affectionate, not pejorative. All Aussie players have one, or more, nicknames – it’s an Aussie thing. 😀
What’s Shane’s nickname? Maybe it changed with Ms Hurley’s arrival?

Well it was ‘Warnie’. It is now ‘Warning!’
Jacques 224. Not as big a score as Pup’s but not bad for an old chap.
Smith and Gary Kirsten declared far to early, should have batted to within 70 minutes of the close.
This whole match has a ‘triumphalism’ about it.
580 was nowhere near enough, 650 would have been a good number, time will tell but I see a draw here or a very scratchy S.A. win. Burns my backside to watch this, simply not good enough!
