00:00And he will have some serious work to do. I don't think he'll be smiling right now

00:04He'll know that his side is in trouble in a truncated series

00:09Stain charging in

00:13Easily worked away to get off the mark

00:17Yeah be a bit disappointed with that

00:19Stain first up to the sores he sometimes didn't want to bowl that much or how easy was he to handle

00:25Poor delivery and put away so easy put away for Michael Clark. That's 50 for him

00:32So that's a terrific innings from Michael Clark, a real captain's knock

00:37And a fine performance by him under difficult batting conditions

00:50It's his fourth 50 in seven matches against South Africa

00:55But the ball always too full

01:00And again

01:03Hasn't got away with that one de Villiers has done the fielding an extra cover

01:08And stayed down far too long for my liking

01:11given that he's

01:14Had a broken hand. He's all right

01:18It's hurting that hurt him

01:26And run Tyler just needs to get his length sorted out it's been too full so far this over

01:40It's a stop by de Villiers, I think that's done him a little bit

01:47Ball in run that's a better length. That's the length that he's looking for

01:56I

02:09Didn't five for three

02:13Michael Clark has played very positively in the time that he's been out there

02:19Received a few foolish deliveries. He didn't miss out one or two wide ones as well

02:25Has found the boundary on numerous occasions

02:37Good record against South Africa very good. In fact went past his 5,000 runs in Test cricket as well

02:43Just the 18th Australian to do so

02:56I

03:01Went into aggressive mode not go all out and go at deliveries that are not there

03:07But look to be positive after being roughed up and it served him really well

03:139

03:1498 now from 107 and he's gone at a runner ball looked very comfortable as you say the surface been difficult

03:21But it hasn't looked so to him

03:24As a look at his career very good one 1500s already in 2250s

03:39There it is a

03:42beautiful shot to bring up a

03:44Hundred number 16 and test matches for Michael Clark. It's appreciated by his team in the change room

03:53And he can celebrate he really has played well here

03:58captain's knock

04:00Bringing up the 200 as well for his team

04:03Extraordinary not from the Australian captain

04:08I'd go so far as to say it's one of his best

04:10Given the conditions and the quality of bowling that he's faced throughout the day and the pace is

04:17It's about a hundred off just 108 balls faced

04:20In conditions that have really favored the bowlers most of the day

04:24What an amazing performance from Michael Clark

04:29As you say brought up in Australia 200 as well brilliant performance

04:37Yeah superb stuff

04:43Class player great to watch when he's going and it's been great to watch today 202 for six

04:50I

05:00Very happy man Australian captain superb knock and much appreciated by his teammates

05:11Custody kiss of the badge

05:20You

05:23202 for six in Australia and as you look down that card look at Marsha batted quite well

05:2944 for 101

05:318 of 25 to Ponting 9 of

05:3519 3 of 15 it's been difficult going out there for the bat bull both ball good spells again this morning

05:42more cool much better

05:44I

05:46Was going over the top nice and high

05:49He's gonna look to play shots obviously at this stage with Michael Clark and that is a very good one to start proceedings in this

05:55over

06:01He's clearly gonna put the foot down now

06:05To stick around for too long

06:08More cool more cool needs to concentrate that he still hits the right areas

06:11It's not an easy wicket to just stand there and hit through the line. So he needs to get the ball in the right areas

06:17Clock clearly gonna try and maximize his effort now. He's on 147

06:23It's been a remarkable knock a strike rate of 86 spent some 23 balls. I think on about to get to about three runs

06:30And

06:32From that moment on he was just outstanding his highest score now against South Africa going past his previous best of 138

06:43Has been a truly remarkable innings if you consider that's

06:46Any other score in the double figures in the top seven was the 44 of Marsh?

06:52As we see Ryan Harris warming up he expects his bowling bowling stint to start pretty soon

06:59He's one to watch that's for sure Ryan Harris is line hearted also

07:05Smash Wow, what a shot that is. That's terrific stuff from the skipper

07:13It is a great shot to take to 150

07:16Enjoyed by the Australian fans here. It's been a very very special innings

07:21teammates

07:22appreciates the captain's innings

07:25It's really remarkable he said this morning actually that when I asked him how good this knock is, how does he rate it?

07:31He said I'll let you know in a few days time

07:34He was just over a hundred of that stage

07:35I think he'll be puffing that chest out a little bit now after playing strokes like that and going to 150

07:42It's been a treat to watch that's for sure brilliant stuff from the skipper

07:55I

07:58Has that 22 fours and I think that's been the key to the sittings and is that when he's had the opportunity

08:04Presented with a poor delivery whether it was short and wide or full he's taken full advantage taken full toll

08:12Make a career to averaging

08:15Close to getting closer and closer to 50

08:191600s

08:24Now that's done something off the seam and a cursory glance there for Michael Clark of the track

08:30And we're still going to see a bit more of that today

08:33Yeah, it's a good delivery. Good length. It's a bit of bouncing away movement away. I'm sure in

08:39151 Clark won't be disappointed to see that

08:43Chances are he'll be in the field pretty shortly and asking his bowlers to hit those sort of lengths

08:48You won't be disappointed to

08:51see that

08:53Extravagant movement with the 79 over old ball and I'll make a few of those seamers take notice in the change room

09:03Trying to back away and get a boundary

09:05Not to be what a mobile hits the furniture ends up with three wickets

09:09But it is the end of what has been an outstanding not from the Australian skipper. He really has played absolutely superbly

09:17He has that a number of the South Africans go across and congratulate him

09:21A nice touch in a very very special innings knocked over by Morkel at the end

09:28It's very philander shakes his hand

09:32Sensational innings Michael Clark

09:34Knocked over by Morkel try to give himself some room that when it's a seemed came back hit leg stump on his way for 151

09:42absolutely superb Michael Clark
