Cricket : Indians Hammered by Clarke and Pointing - what do you say

    That ends India's misery for the day. It has belonged well and truly to the hosts and in particular, to Michael Clarke and Ponting. Together both put on a stand which was 97 runs more than the Indian total. Both of them brought up their centuries and the skipper went on to reach his 250. He has all the time in the world to probably surpass Lara's 400 and given India's pathetic bowling display, it should not take him much time. But he will know that an early declaration might enable him to spend an extra day at home. 3 Indian bowlers, Ashwin, Zak and Ishant, brought up their hundreds and they will be hoping that the batsmen will emulate their bowling performance. That, probably is what the rest of India will be hoping too.

    I think the Indian cricket team is a joke and is making Australia look better then what they really are. Anyway I hope Clarke goes on to make 300. But I was impressed by the young Indian fast bowler I forget his name? He bowled well in Melbourne.

    The Australian bowling was more impressive then the batting. I am wondering how Mitchell Johnson will fit back into the team.

    It seems to be a very, very long time since Australia has actually won two Tests in a row. So us Aussies are happy chappies. They were beaten by a New Zealand side just prior. Either they have improved remarkably or the Indian side is a little weak.

    Still hoping to see Sachin make his next century though.

    Same thing is happening which happened in England. Indians are not clicking simultaneously and therefore no partnerships. Credit must go to Australians for their excellent batting and bowling.

    India never seems to do as well away from home either. But it's obvious the team is aged and they need new blood.
