Yeah, as I said before it's his biggest weakness and he loves to snick off as a result. Just has to get bat on everything when he first walks out. He actually leaves a lot better once he's set; he's one of those guys who needs to get a few away early though. And he didn't today. Didn't really expect him to get out like that though.
Makes no sense that he's batting at 3 then. A player like that shouldn't be anywhere near the new ball.

Geez he really didn't have to play at that one at all. The South African bats were all leaving those ones alone.

Nah, **** off, you can't bag Ponting for not leaving that ball. Not easy to do at 140Km/h especially early

Why doesn't Clarke face the new ball music?

Ok he was found wanting at #4 but surely after the runs against the Indians he has the confidence to step up again.

he should have slog swept it, ftr
It ****s me, tbh. That's exactly how you want to go after someone as a pace bowler. Any straighter and it wouldn't have drawn that uncertain shot, any wider and he could have more easily left it. Was pretty much the perfect ball to guys who know how to bat.

His average at #5 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> #4. He will go there however when Ponting/Hussey quit.
