Yeah, I'd like to see Watto get a big hundred (current best 126?)

[Hawka]

+1  ;D

in all seriousness it shoud by hussey at 4 haddin at 5 clarke at 6

Clarke at 3. Make him earn it, even he can't do it he's not up to it. Hussey at 4, Khawaja at 5, Ponting at 6 (protect him a bit ffs)

[Hawka]

yer mayb its time for him to move down like lara did

+1 would take some of the pressure off him

Watson is trying to spark a bit in Australia. Tried to score fast before but carries a risk. Although can bring confidence to himself and his batting partner by doing this.

Clarke and Ponting need to do a little more. They can bat, they need to show it in this test. Otherwise, we may need a batting overhaul.

hp clarke and punter wont b batting in this test  :-\ but punter seems to enjoy boxing day

Hussey IMO is wasted at 5, he needs to bat ahead Of Clarke so that when the balls old Clarke can get set against spin, his speciality.

[Cicjose]

Clarke and Ponting need to be dropped for Boxing Day

Haha. Didn't see the end of the day score as I went out :-X. They've been in shocking form recently!!! Need a real wake up call.

Would love for Watson and Hussey to go all day ;).
