Mickey Clarke said that a lead of 350 would be enough but Australia should have that sometime tomorrow morning, especially with the way India have been playing.
When would you declare assuming that the weather is set fair and the pitch looks a belter?
There should be nothing stopping them from adding another 200 runs before tea which would leave them 7 sessions to take 10 wickets.
What if Clarke has 330 at lunch? Should he go looking for that 400 score?
I expect Tendulkar to get his 100 on this placid pitch in a losing cause.

Set a target of 420, whenever that occurs, put the indians in...... Would be sad if sachin does get his 100th ton in a losing cause, but im sure we'll see celebrations regardless.....
LT/CF - if your reading this......

bat tomorrow and i think clarke is well set for the 400 mark. he could get to aroung 350 by lunch and it would be a matter of time he gets 400 after. Really wish he does get that 400. afridi stop this 100th ton crap, even if he gets 200 it would be a shame to say the least.... but nevertheless it would be an achievement if any indian batsman even pass the 50 mark. dhoni will call that a positive

i really think australia should bat until 30 minutes before tea. that gives enough time to score maybe another 150-200 runs and then have a lead of 450-500.
that should provide enough pressure to make the indian wilt and subside on the 4th day
