what bat is clarke using?

New Bat sponsor, Spartan...

It is a Spartan 329

Gee, didn't even notice the change, I usually take note of what bat the players use. When did he change from Slazenger?

Some people can never be pleased.

people need something to complain about..... if there wasnt anything to complain about these forums would be awful quiet.

Not sure, his old deal ran out before The Test, because he had a plain face during his triple hundred

His contract with Slazenger ran out on Dec 31st, Slazenger chose not to renew their sponsorship so Clarke had a clean skin bat at the Sydney test and made 329*.
He signed a 3 year deal with Spartan only last night, reported to be close to $1m.
The new bat will be called the MC 329 and should be in stores within a couple of months.
Think they are an Indian company but have a base near Wollongong

I enjoy watching the Aussies succeed like today but come on it wasnt exactly enthralling test match cricket.

What makes me laugh is on SAFooty the Indians cop an absolute bashing about producing crappy decks, batter friendly, inflated averages etc etc yet the Adelaide is extremly similar to their decks except ours doesnt turn as much. They might as well just play the game over 1 innings without teams taking a gamble with declarations they would be bore draws.

Question spelly when was the last Adelaide test where neither side declared any of its innings. Watch it was probably last year.

Dont have too sign em mate
I raised a sweat in my tons, so my sweat form my gloves and body are on the bats
The DNA from the sweat on the bats means the bats could be worth anything one day

Did make 110* [about 70 balls] against Booney and Rik e Boys mob one day
The great pity of that innings is everyone who was at the ground saw some or most or all of that innings
Except me
They didnt have video screens at the Primary School grounds in those daze

Couldnt be last year...there was no Test match at Adelaide Oval in 2011

The answer in 2009
WI 451 & 317
Aus 439 & 5/212 (Match Drawn)
The previous test (Nov 2008) also had no declarations
NZ 270 & 203
Aus 535

In test matches since 2000.
11 matches
5 matches have seen declarations
6 matches have NOT seen declarations

TENDULKAR
Has turned to being a film star
Sachin is involved in shoots from an Adelaide Nursing Home in Brompton
There is a veil of secrecy over the content of the commercial
The commercial/commercials will be shown in India

Maybe the shoots are being done for some of the high profiled Indian batsmen ...

BOONEY
That innings was an away game
Macca and Champ chased some leather that day

ROD ROOSTER
Its now about 21 hours since The Shaun was dismissed
And still no posts by Rodney Rooster
Im concerned for his safety

MARSH
Some comments in todays press from the public
Marsh is a spud should never be picked again
The only reason Marsh is still in the team is to give the Indians a start . 10 vrs 11 seems fair
Facing a mediocre attack, cant get a run, next please
Makes 90 odd in a game of pyjama cricket and is immediately selected in the Test team. Failures all the way show that pyjama cricket is not a very good indication of form

Nah, gotta be in one innings not one season.
