http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739 to reduce the Men In Blue to 53 for 1 at tea on Day 3 of the 2nd Test, played at the SCG, January 5th, 2011.
Extending his new found form, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Brian-Charles-Lara-c48471’s individual record of 400, he declared midway through the second session, remaining not out on 329 as the hosts piled on a massive 659 on the board – an overall lead 468.
It gave them a full hour of bowling time before the tea interval, and the period proved fruitful as Hilfenhaus managed to take out Sehwag cheaply, who fell for 4 as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DA-Warner-c1301 showed great reflexes to take an excellent diving catch while fielding at point.
However, the day belonged to the Aussie skipper, who became the 6th player to amass a triple ton for his country. His innings was marked by elegance, driving the ball with confidence in front of his home fans. Resuming from his overnight score of 251, it took http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 a little time to settle but with Hussey in fine form, the run rate remained on the rise.
It was the left-hander who celebrated his milestone first, clipping Sehwag’s trouble free off-breaks to bring up his ton. Clarke went into the lunch interval on 293, but shortly after resumption punched the air in delight as he clipped http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 handsomely to the mid-wicket region to join an exclusive list of Kangaroo legends, who have managed to achieve such feet in their careers.
The hosts went on with their business and it seemed that Clarke would’ve been enticed into playing for much longer, but, shortly after his partner reached his 150, declared to ensure that his bowlers had plenty of time to bowl out their opponents.
As they took the field, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 started aggressively with a flurry of boundaries, however, the loss of his opening partner dented their charge.
