11.25 Australia added 70 runs this morning for the loss of Siddle and Clarke. They will take that, gladly. 284 is a rather decent total. The ball is still doing a lot on this pitch. We'll see how potent the Australians are in about ten minutes.
"Only two batsmen in test history have scored two 151s...Clarke & Steve Waugh. Nice company to keep. Useless stat, but I like the symmetry," says Smudgeon.
