00:00ah just dropping short again it's it's a virus that hasn't yet left him
00:11yes and i think if he has a look at the other end ashwin has very seldom bowled
00:16a short ball this is a slowish pitch and you could try and get the batsman forward
00:21there it is giving him ample time to rock back on the back foot and also pick the spot
00:30takes that on the full that's one of his great strengths he's quick on his feet
00:36he converts that into a loose ball gets the boundary and that'll end the over 160 for five
00:45there again too much leg stump and this time they'll get a boundary
00:53let's confess you don't see jadeja doing this very often he normally has great control
00:58over his line
01:03ishan sharma is missing that one was difficult stop it could have been stopped so consecutive
01:10boundaries there for clark terrific footwork something what allen bought ahead getting to
01:15the pitch of the ball in a flash getting the middle of the bat deserves a boundary
01:21oh what a shot beautiful shot that leaning into the drive copy book cover drive that from
01:34michael clark look at the way he's positioned himself look at the way he's leaning into the
01:39drive head still and the front knee bent this is what coaches would tell all the young kids
01:48watch that cover drive full face of the bat show and look at a balance
01:52terrific there again beautifully played by clark
02:01no half measures
02:05so half century for the australian captain and is a brilliant run over the last 15 months continues
02:11that's a poor delivery and it gets the treatment
02:23what a great shot i mean it was a ball on full on on the pads and most batsmen
02:28would have taken advantage of it but there's just such a class about it
02:33oh that's a great shot too he's been hit for consecutive boundaries once on the onside once
02:37on the off and that is why it's sometimes a little frustrating watching ishan sharma we watch him a
02:44hundred yards away you watched him from uh from first slip second slip sometimes is it a bit
02:48frustrating being out there as well because clearly he has the ability but it's it doesn't
02:53translate into uh into action often enough i think he's a very good talent yeah he's a very good
02:58into action often enough i think he's a very good talent yeah he didn't get the
03:03number of wickets which he would have liked sometimes i felt he was very unlucky
03:11he's bowled fuller and he's been driven down the ground
03:17this is smart cricket if you're set he's gone into the 90s michael clark you know the second
03:22new ball has been taken and as bbs just mentioned the sd ball the new ball doesn't swing as much
03:28so then in fact michael clark knew this is the time to now just
03:32sort of flaunt yourself at the bowl up warm-up delivery pitched up looking for some swing
03:40and michael clark asserts himself on bhuvaneshwar kumar very early with this new ball
03:44he's tucked around the corner and should get a couple from duncan chasing
03:56and said he wants three and will come back for three
04:0298 michael clark
04:03down the track and a magnificent hundred from michael clark his 23rd test hundred
04:14is sixth versus india and named as australian captain superb performance from the australian
04:21captain michael clark we knew he'd be important to this team with his batting and thoroughly
04:29deserved that hundred he's played quite superbly led from the front and he knows how important that
04:35is for his side forcing michael clark to do something different using his feet playing
04:43the lofted shot to get a boundary off the last ball 323 for seven
04:51what you would call scary scary numbers for indian fans look at that 329 not 210
04:58and adelaide 130 not out here
05:03oh is this going to be out could be could be yes well judged in the deep
05:10bhuvaneshwar kumar takes the catch and yes that's what you're seeing michael clark
05:16walking towards the pavilion
05:21fantastic knock from michael clark well done jadeja the rock star deserved that one michael
05:27clark looked like he just wanted to go straight down the ground and as we picked up last over
05:31just turned a bit and a good catch from kumar under a bit of pressure there to catch that one
05:36but it just looked like it turned a little bit on him from jadeja well played michael
05:41clark a fantastic innings got australia into a strong position he's gone for 130 australia 361
