Cricket

Its test match cricket - the entertainment can come from a great defensive display in not losing a match. Are you the type of football fan who likes lots of goals but cannot appreciate a great defensive display where the plucky away side gets a well-deserved 0-0 against a side with much better players?

In many ways it was good for them to go for the win. As a England supporter I was happy that I got to watch a day of slogging and the chance of and England victory, but it is not the Australian captains job to entertain me and give England achance of victory. I am not sure how Aussie fans are reacting, and as I said there is something to be said for attacking like they did, but snatching defeat out of the jaws of a draw (and moral victory) would not have been clever at all.

It was a shame about the light, and perhaps the rules need looking at,
.

Austrailia had to back them selves to get the wickets and go for the win, and clark obviously belived they could do it, its a ballance of runs vs time. admitedly i think they could have stuck another 30/40 on the total. Also i think that The win meant far more to Oz than getting a draw so they had to go for it. it would have been such a moral boost for the team looking to the winter Ashes.
Clark was not looking to entertain but to win and out of that come entertainment
