PLAYER OF THE DAY

Michael Clarke
India was flattened by a superb double century from Aussie skipper Michael Clarke. Clarke’s knock, along with Ponting’s 134 and Hussey’s half-century wrested control of the Test away from India. If our batting doesn’t turn up, we’re going to be two down with two to play. TURN TO PG 30,31
