clarkey might just miss out on the 100 unfortunatly :(
he's played well

couldnt help but hope that the rain continued, a few days ago we had our arses saved by the rain and it would only be fair that rain cost us a certain win like it saved us a certain loss ;)

but its the aussies 8)

for those of us who stuck around after the showers at the end it was worth just being in the crowd while Clarkey tried (and took way way too long!) to get his century. the atmosphere was brilliant.

and truth be told considering the weather all day the fact we only had one rain delay after they started at 3 was amazing.

great day at the cricket even if the group i was with missed the first 4 wickets cause 'after the sunset' went overtime at hoyts!!! (like a good bunch of other fans Fox studios got a visit when you turned up to hear play was being delayed til 3:40pm (then they accelerate the start when we're in the cinema!!)

i have tickets to the 2nd final so really loooking forward to that one, providing the Windies make it. pakistan are boring as until Afridi and Razzaq bat... maybe that's a bit harsh but their bowling attack is deadset pedestrian and the top order really lacks any flair.

I honestly hope the Windies win today. God knows the series needs a bit of action. Cricket is at an all-time dullness level in Australia.

Looking forward to the Ashes though, I'm craving a decent contest

Australia make 269... extraordinary, given the early loss of wickets.
