previously at the G

Australia

Twas a patchy day for the aussies.

Punter was sex on grass.

Clarke was a bit everywhere, but they ended with 280 in a day at the G, which is actually pretty handy.

South Africa

Had to grind out their wickets a little bit, but the last wicket of the day was the important one.

The aussie tail may hang around, but Haddin could have put Australia over 400 quickly.

Will be happy with the day, but need to know that big first innings scores in Melbourne are rare.

Who is in front

280 for 6 should have Australia in front, as long as Australia get the ball to move around like the saffers did.

However South African batsmen should be confident, so it’s probably still pretty level.

Play of the day

109 people thrown out of the old girl.

Melbourne knows how to throw a party.

Testicular moment of the day

Ricky’s hundred was a big fuck you to the world.

It was the sort of hundred that should be scored at the G.

Strong and attacking, with a touch of luck.

Working class moment

Michael Clarke has to get this, 150 odd balls with one boundary.

That is the batting equivalent of working in a factory pressing a button your whole life.

Lets hope he gets his hand chopped off and gets a big pay day, other wise it’s hardly worth it.
