I'm so glad this loops, it's tremendously satisfying and never gets old. Also, it's the one consolation I'll be able to take away from this game. Can we get a shoulder-charge for Anderson as well please?

Nice to see Clarke and Khawaja batting like... well, like they should have been batting ever since this series started.

Hooray, Khawaja has his 50.

Khawaja with his 50, good knock from him...Clarke needs to get his 50 then both need to keep at it and try and make a decent high scoring partnership to give the Aussies at least a fighting chance.

Wow, that turned!

Yas786 · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:15

Clarke with a 50 now.

FFS Clarke gets out, Root get his wicket

What an utterly retarded shot by the captain, should have left that alone you idiot.

You were having a fairytale? This is a pretty weak fairytale!

Looking at the replay of that wicket, dear god Clarke what were you thinking just handing your wicket to Root of all people :/.

Really was an absolutely retarded shot of epic proportions...another nail in the coffin, could have been a good partnership had Clarke not been an idiot playing that shot.

Replay of Root wicket:

manic111 · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:28

That looked like a nick to me...

Edit: Oh no, he's hit the ground

mmj_uk · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:31

Rooooooooooooot.

manic111 · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:31

This rough is disgusting, making Root look like Shane Warne!

rotters · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:32

Khawaja gone now, Root having the game of his life.

At this stage in Australian cricket, two openers getting 50 each is a fairy tale. :rolleyes:

Oh great, we've lost Khawaja.

And on that bombshell I'm off to bed, hoping we last long enough for another day's play.

Caseh · 21 Jul 2013 at 15:33

Roooot! He's beating them on his own! ;D

I heard a noise there.

Edged!
