Thread: Cricketer Phillip Hughes

A very good first session by Australia,Warner is on his way to another century but a good fight back by India mainly Ishant Sharma. Bloody good to have the cricket back.

WARNER 100 just before drinks, well done.

watch the highlights to see what this means to them..

WARNERS 50, then when on 63, then his ton, shows the spirit and hopefully this stays..

CLARKE about to make 50 (but not as convincing as WARNER), but he is digging in to, hopefully like the eulogy "make it through to tea"

Bloody sad to see Clarke retire hurt. You have got to ask was he fit in the first place? Is it time to walk away? The gap between injury and recovery is getting bigger.

He probably was not ready fitness wise, but because of the Hughes thing was playing to support his team mates.

I doubt if we will see him playing test cricket again, he is 33 and unlikely to get any better. He is not the only one in that team that is getting towards the end of their career. Rogers, Haddin, Watson, Johnson and Harris are no spring chickens.

Day two,I think the match is very even at the moment. Its a bit overcast in Adelaide today which should give a bit of movement for the bowlers. If the Indians get a couple of wickets in the first session that will change the match. If Australia get around 500-550 I don't think India can compete. But cricket is a funny can and anything can happen. Gotta love summer

Just read where Clarke is expected to bat after having spent 10 minutes in the nets this morning and having had a couple of jabs in the back last night.


Just hope it isn't about getting from 60 to 63 and that no further injury occurs. No doubting his resolve/guts/determination but sometimes you can be ones own worst enemy and there is a lot of emotion in this match.

I believe this is just the 2nd Test Match played on the drop in pitch. After the large scores in the domestic comp., [ 670, I think, once, might be mistaken] it will be interesting to see how this match goes. Bob
