That's all Aussies know how, isn't it..........win at all costs....

They were 9 wickets down. I don't know why they didn't at least attempt to bat for a bit of time until they lost the last one. India were always going to have a crack at the total, particularly on a wicket that wasn't offering much for the bowlers.

SP - What will you roll out next?

My "sporting declaration" comment was referring to time, rather than wickets down. Many Captains would try and bat on into the fifth day, knowing that once play had started, the playing conditions would require 10 or 15 overs to be lost on a change of innings. Pietersons declaration gave India a full days play (90 overs) to chase...

Except when he may be disciplined or fined for a slow over rate.
One hell of a ride.
As if. He was managing the horses - Some of whom have just broken down perhaps for good. Clarke goooone.

Ian Chappell and Alan Border didn't agree.
Basically accused him of worrying more about the over rate (and the fine or suspension he would cop), than the win.
Not a very Aussie attitude...

Like anybody takes Ian Chapple seriously.

Yeah.....but Border....
Dean Jones (I think) tells a great storey of walking in to bat on a 40C day in India when the Aussies were trying to save a test.
Jones made a comment to Border (who was at the other end) about how bloody oppressive it was, how rotten he was feeling and how he didn't want to be there....to which Border replied....."well go back and send out a real Australian".
One hell of a ride.

Bye bye Hayden.

What, you think he'll be dropped? Maybe see if he can change citizenship to this side of the tasman. Give how something to think about then...
One hell of a ride.
Done nuffink for a long time and there are stocks in't cupboard - unlike spinners. Swap you for DV?
