Clarkie

[haines490slc]

Legend, he is on absolute fire, not since the centenary test in 77 when Hooksie smashed Greig for 5 fours in an over has that been done, what an innings, old mate is on fire, fast writing himself into the history books, I know I said he was the worst captain, I take it all back, absolute legend, So much of the number 1 attack in the world, next bring on the poms.

ive never said clarkie was a bad captain and have always rated him. the bloke is a gun and will be a great captain for years to come.

mike hussy seems to growing younger and younger!

looks like the worlds best bowling attack isnt good enough for the worlds best batting attack!

and lets not forget warner, when he manages to put it together he really puts the oppostion on the back foot.

will be good to see our bowlers back up todays efforts tomorro at some stage!

Fast becoming? Clark has always been pure class! He is just peaking at the moment. I compare him to Steve Waugh when he is seeing them well.

South Africa are the number 1 attack in the world on their home turf using a dukes ball. If they don't have their little dukes that moves like crazy they are crud!

I can't wait to see Hilfenhaus bowl with the new ball late in the test.. I have him for getting a 5 for.

AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!!

[tazzy.]

what a machine eh?! that was total domination...everything out of the middle! He is averaging well over 100 for the year. what a legend!

Seeing like a basket ball! Good to see hussey get this ton and that Lil freak Warner get his in rapid time, Clarke may be classy but its a Warner show for me those short arm jabs for six are just awesome, fancy being 5/482 on day one !!!

cheers

At first when I saw the score I thought "we're doing alright"

Then it occurred to me it was day one.

Holy sh**...

It doesn't matter that they don't have their full A team in the bowling department, that is still a bloody good effort with the willow.

Lifes funny isn`t it!

If Clark had not hit 200+ some would still think him Captain Poo Now he`s the Messiah. :cheer: Hopefully he doesn`t do a bingle in SA innings

[Gad]

in this test match,I would judge Du Plessis`,367 ball defence,110 not out innings,ensuring a draw for SA as a greater feat than Clarks double century, where a game decider was concerned.

What a test debut.

Great game right down to the last few balls. Roll on the Perth test..

Even badly wounded the Proteas aren`t going to let the Aussies have the No.1 world ranking without putting in a phenomenal effort.
