I'd be surprised if Clarke plays at all this Summer, he'll save himself for the Ashes next year.
He can't really risk coming back too early and ruining it even further, he's walking a very thin tightrope at the moment, another issue or two with his back and hamstring and he'll have to retire.
Victory by 33 runs. A very good win here today against a very good opponent, can't wait for the rest of the series as there was a quality game on show today.
Pathetic batting performance today. Have to say Australia are just incredibly belligerent right now. Seem to think they have to attack no matter what the circumstances. No guile or patience or craft to any of our batsman. Frankly I think it comes from Clarke.
Yep batting sucked but I'll tell you what, we have a gun young team developing.
Warner, Smith, Marsh, Hazlewood, Pattinson, Cummins, Faulkner, Starc, Boyce, Hughes, etc. just got to get the batsmen to play consistently. Boy oh boy is Marsh something special!!
