WC2007: Super 8

What on earth was that Clarke? Just when he was looking good he leaves a slower ball, don't know why he didn't try and smash that into the stands.

 

[Damo01]

Is it just me or did Clarke actually suicide his own wicket by leaving the ball to directly hit the stumps?

 

[aussie_ben91]

Maybe his trying to throw away Australia's chance of winning the World Cup?

You'd think he'd have gotten the 50 first before kamikaze.

 

[aussie1st]

I still can't figure why he left that, a slower ball is going to have less bounce not go over the stumps and that was a off spinner type ball so obviously was going onto the stumps.

14 overs of Hussey and Symonds, could be in for some very quick runs and big hits.

Hussey has just came in, which means NZ are already at the tail .

What did I just say ?

He obviously had a brain fart. I'd imigane it's pretty hot out there, especially with the running between wickets, concentration & wearing a helmet.

Unlucky Clarke missed by one

Yea brain explosion no doubt, problem for Clarke is he seems to have a lot of these.

I called it suicidal. Even he might have misjudged the bounce of the ball to go over the stumps. But to me it looked like suicidal...and he was on 49 just 1 run behind of getting his half century!

 

[aussie1st]

Hmmm lost Symonds without enough damage done. Feels like we need about 350 which we will be lucky to get now.

 

[aussie_ben91]

I just think Clarke forgot what position he was in and thought it was going outside off-stump an then he realized just as the ball went past where he was and it was too late.

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

I cant even see 320 now ,we lost quick wickets

 

[angryangy]

Gillespie should go back into the pavillion for that.

 

[aussie1st]

Lol poor Gillespie I thought Hussey was gone even forgot that I heard the no ball call before that.

Watson going the tonk now, he isn't too bad at the death after all. That lap sweep of his looks so risky but it really is paying off.
