Super knock again from Hussey. What a player. He's averaging over 85 now in 17 Test matches. What an amazing effort.

WIN The Toss and Send Australia into Bat. :shock:

When in the Hell is a Touring side going to come to Australia and Be POSITVE and get on the Front Foot and win the toss and BAT 1st ?????????????

Time and Time again we see the tourists win the toss and use the excuse to field 1st (there was a green tinge and a bit of moisture in the pitch) only to see the Aussies Rack up 500+ and presto, GAME OVER.



Honestly, you've got no idea! Nah good call Jimmy LOL.

Michael Clarke is a star. One of the best players of spin I've seen and his range of strokes is fantastic.

Really matured as a batsman, and as a person, and he's now secured his spot in the team. When he's done he'll end up having an average of 50+ and easily 20+ centuries. After a slight hiccup he really is the future of Australian cricket.
