Great Interview ... Opened up his heart. Respect. One of the best Blokes in Cricket.

Who was the best bowler you faced? Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh and Muttiah Muralidaran were really tough as spinners on their home wickets.

One thing which struck me was that Michael Clarke hasn't gotten along well with most of his team-mates. In his interview there were questions around a bust-up involving Clarke, Martyn and Anderson. Apparently Anderson claimed Martyn told Anderson to "hit Clarke with the pads" whatever kinky stuff that might mean. Earlier Symonds was dropped from the team after going for fishing instead of attending a team meeting and that happened with Clarke standing in as the captain and it was Clarke's call to kick Symonds out of the team. Later Katich and Clarke had a very public bust up with Katich apparently grabbing Clarke's throat. It happened just after Aussies had won a match and Katich wanted to sing "Under the Southern Cross" and Clarke wanted to head out early. We already seen Michael Hussey revealing he didn't disclose team management about his retirement plans coz he was afraid he would be dropped from the team. Lastly "Homeworkgate" where 4 players were benched for not completing their homework, sort of similar to what happened with Symonds. IMO it's the best thing for rest of the cricketing world that Clarke is Australia's captain as he will eventually run the team in the ground.

And he handled them the best too. Arguably one of the best non-sub continental players of spin bowling along with Flower.

This has already been pointed 'n' number of times but people like him because he is "agressive" viz. he has an aggressive mouth and makes popular decisions.
