Tea time, mmmm seeya Hoggy, about to play his last session in test cricket one would think, didn't bowl that session at all. Time for the Aussies now to rest Brett Lee, no use in over bowling him, been great all series bring on some of the not so recognised bowlers aka Hayden, Jaques and Gilchrist, perhaps give Hoggy the gloves see how he goes there, been a very disappointing days cricket with both sides obviously playing for a draw :(

If Michael Clarke didn't make a 100 this Test, i think he would have been looked at closely and maybe even dropped. He hasn't really made that much runs lately (before yesterday) and he has dropped plently of catches.....

He had a couple of ordinary innings but has stood up pretty well most of the time, yes dropped plenty of catches I admit but as it turns out the last one he dropped was probably the most important as far as this test goes, but one never knows I guess :D

Yes, very boring and sad to watch Gilly's last innings end in disappointment. I would also like to see Hayden, Jaques and Gilchrist have a bowl, but i don't think its ever gonna happen. I wouldn't mind seeing Mike Hussey have a bowl though.....

Bit harsh - he's averaging 50 for a four test series....

I suppose, i mean, if your gonna drop Michael Clarke, you should drop Ricky Ponting aswell, he hasn't made many runs (before yesterday)

Oh dear, sometimes i wonder...

Based on what? 1 Test Match? He failed in Sydney and that was it.

These have been his scores for the summer, 20,73,71,145*,0,1,23,81 (Top Score in losing side) and 118.

So he is averaging 66.5. His spot should hardly be up for contention.

People have been spoilt by Australias dominance, You cant have players come out and dominate every game.

He has had a very very solid summer.

I think it is almost certain that Bradley George Hogg is playing his last innings of Test Match Cricket today.

I think Brett Lee has been the stand-out of the series and the rest of the guys have been on level peggings. If Matthew Hayden had played at the WACA i think he might have been a chance.

Haydon has just taken the catch of the year at 2nd slip, an absolute blinder, one handed diving to his left and it stuck, funny Ponting back on at 1st slip, Haydos at 2nd slip looks so much better, India now 5/237 but still cannot get rid of Sehwag

Might as well. He might grab a wicket, now that would be funny.
