Neither the fielding team or the batting team can call for bad light anymore so I don't know how we are chickens and walked off for bad light. Yes we played for bad light but end of the day England played for a draw for most of the test and it's up to the umpires to call for the light anyway.


yeah true but i do know Clark don't want lost 4-0 for first time...Clark made umpires make sure bad light, walk out quickly thats why, you see all fans booed at them

Clarke was being a right gobshite in fairness, regardless of the rules.

Warne was bleating on and on about how much he loved Clarke because he wasn't afraid to lose with the declaration, but it turns out he is actually the same as every other captain in cricket.

Australia are chicken!

Probably one of the greatest pieces of writing ever to grace this site.

Yeah I know he was, I'm not exactly Clarkes biggest fan, great cricketer but petulant child and the I've got some stories about that too, and like I said they were playing for bad light but at the same time it's not the players that make the call and England played for a draw for most of that test anyways.

Of course, there was nothing wrong with what Australia did (apart from that spell of bowling down the legside, which was horrid to watch) it was just annoying that Warne was doing his 'official spokesman of Cricket Australia role' about how amazing Clarke was and then he was doing that at the end.

You talking about the Clarke/Hussey stories as well?

Nah actually stories from when he was still a junior. His old man did some coaching of our junior sides and has been very good friends with our president since he was a kid. Used to tell me stories of his tantrums when he would get out.
