Moooo
This is just blatant conspiracy theory now.

It is the only logical conclusion I can make behind this declaration tbh

England still being the only team to concede 400 to a single bat is the only positive thing about this

Maybe he just wanted to pass the real great of the game: Sobers, all rounder like him

when it comes from Lara, it is more an honour
Pretorius won't field due to the injury inflicted on his wrist.

Mulder the machine is bowling now
He still looks poor to me, at least in relation to the talent we have that isn't playing.
I didn't watch him bowl a single ball in the first test FTR.
Thoughts?

I mentioned these three because there was no cricketing logic behind these declarations. These players simply didn't want to have a World Record next to their name. Clarke had 2.5 days to bowl India out just once but declared. Warner's case Australia declared after only 127 overs in 1st innings. And Mulder after 114 overs. Even more ridiculous lol.

Clarke declared halfway into day 3.
Match finished after tea on day 4.
India deserved to be punished more resoundingly.

Going to be even funnier when Craig Ervine gets 405.

He is a fair bit down the pecking order but I used to think urgh what a shitty action but I think that is part of his strength. He definite;y has a little something. Seen him swing it, seam it and surprise batsmen and hit them on the head with a nippy bouncer. Didn't think he had those abilities until the last couple of years. Had a good spell at Durham and also impressed me with his 50-over bowling last season (including death bowling).

it's true, If we had lost it would be bad, but to see them needing 400* to even get a draw shows everything

I bet given how good the bats are, size of boundaries, hitting capabilities of modern batters as well as pace of modern cricket, no individual record is safe on a road and should be broken in the next 10-20 years. And once someone gets like 404*. Someone else should push it to 425* and so on. Natural evolution.
