Michael Clarke... the way he is batting

[Peter R]

and the state of the match he could get into the heady atmosphere of the triple century club. If he doesn't get out and they are batting well, would they let him try to break Lara's record? I doubt because they don't need more than a 500 run lead maximum which they could easily reach today (tonight) and have a session and two full days to dismiss the Indians.

team goals should always trump individual targets... plus the Aussies seem to have some unwritten pact to not surpass Sir Don Bradman"s top score...334 I think.
