Australia finish the day on 517/7. Clarke was out in the last over of the day for 128. Smith remains unbeaten on 162. It looks as though they will try to make up for the play that was lost today with an early start tomorrow.

Australia scoring at a whopping 4.30 runs per over.
EXCELLENT.

Given all the rain interruptions today, the actual play probably amounted to just one session. So for one day plus one session's play ... that's a pretty good total !!!

Banning bouncers is similar to cobras without venom. Already, the game of cricket is loaded heavily in favour of the batsman with the field restrictions in power plays. There should be no qualms about bowling a bouncer. Also, a batsman’s caliber is better appreciated when he can play any kind of delivery, bouncer included. When the batsman hooks the bouncer, batting prowess comes to the forefront. A batsman is better judged only when he can negotiate any kind of delivery. If a spinner turns the ball, obviously the pacer should bounce the same. Over a period, the batsmen are provided with multiple protective gears and guards and there is no scope for doing away with bouncers. Banning bouncers will be reduced to child’s play. There may be occasional injuries, but prescribing a ban is like suggesting that if a body is washed ashore on the beach, banning entry into the water. Banning bouncers is banning fast bowling. It will be a dent on the image of the bowling department, and of course, cricket itself!
