Yeah looked quite good. Thought the firework display in London was the best this year - but only watche it on the screen. I need to do the Aussie tour one day. Probably better going with the barmy army than the swarmy army. 2nd on the list after the Caribbean tour. Prolly be 60 by the time I can afford it/have time to do it though.Originally Posted by Dennis Bendtner
The famous Indian batting.Dravid's 39-year old reflexes are being done in by pace. Gambhir and Kohli should fuck off to ODI cricket. Laxman is done.In truth, it's been there for a while. It was negligence not to start the transition process earlier.Syn, your dad's in Sydney? That is incredibly jammy. They were showing pics of NYE on the Channel 9 broadcast, looks great.
2nd day has started
Clark ended the day on 251 not out
Speaking of 200's, Kallis made 224 for South Africa in the third test against Sri Lanka.
Ponting also got a century
482-4
Virat Kohli has been fined 50% of his match fee after he was seen gesturing to the crowd with his middle finger on the second day. The level two charge was laid by the match referee Ranjan Madugalle on the third morning of the SCG Test.
Kohli went to the hearing along with manager Shivlal Yadav. He pleaded guilty, India's media manager GS Walia, said. Walia added that the matter was closed as far as the Indian team was concerned.
India had a long second day in the field, with Australia piling up 366 runs for the loss of one wicket. When Kohli was posted on the boundary, he said he had heard abuse worse than he ever had in his life. He posted on Twitter, "i agree cricketers dont have to retaliate. what when the crowd says the worst things about your mother and sister. the worst ive heard"
Kohli found a sympathiser in Kevin Pietersen, who replied to his tweet thus: "ha ha ha ha ha!!! Welcome to Australia buddy!!" To which Kohli replied: "never heard crap like that. EVER"
Pietersen went on to tell Kohli that the Australian crowds are such that they abuse even their own when they start losing. Kohli began the third day on a more positive Twitter note that said, "New day new beginning!"
According to a Cricket Australia spokesperson, since CA has kept keeping such records, the second day of this Test was the first time no spectator was evicted during a Test in Australia. There have been no formal complaints about crowd behaviour.

Australia declare on 659-4.
Clarke 329*, Hussey 150*
India
Embarrassing lack of aggression and firepower from the bowlers. They just had no pride at all. Not once was there a confrontation out in the middle. No short balls, no sledging, just constant half-volleys.
India 114-2
