And still no criticism of Ponting, Clarke, Hussey or Haddin in this innings

I will criticise Clarke if he doesnt have a crack at the record
Once in a lifetime opportunity, not even at halfway point of match. Plenty of time to spare

I agree! Really hope he goes on with it, would be nice to see an Aussie hold it.

There is no reason not to declare other than selfish reasons ... the Indians are demoralised enough, get them in and knock them off.

[Media Park]

Milestones to aim for:

287 (Tip Foster's all-time SCG Test match innings record) CHECK
334 (Highest Test innings by an Australian captain)
380 (Matthew Hayden's Australian Test innings record)
400 (Brian Lara's Test match innings record)

Couple of knocks I didn't mention that he's passed:
Bradman 304
Cowper 307
Simpson 311

If Australia batted on into tomorrow, that would be silly.
Plenty of time left today and plenty of time in next two days.
We should enjoy this.
Weather forecast seems okay too.

Are india due for the 3rd new ball soon?

[mal]

How about we knock off the 7/705 India made at this venue b4 we think of a declaration

[Media Park]

45.81 to 48.62- Clarke's average on the back of this innings.

[Jim05]

Yep, give them back some of their own

Haddin is still a spud.

True that. If Paine didn't have fingers made of Kit Kats, Haddin wouldn't be playing.

Really hoping he doesn't make 400.Records are made to be broken but would like to see Lara hold it for a fair while longer yet as he was a champion batsman unlike Clarke. History shows Clarke will get out b4 400 tho.
