Lets see him do it 365 days a year under EXTREME pressure, not on home soil against a side with something to play for :p

Let's see YOU do it even once, loser!

You're as pathetic and much of a loser as your footy team!:p

Clarke has stuck it up the haters once and for all!

Clarke has done NOTHING to warrant the hate he gets. NOTHING! He doesn't act up, or get in trouble with police. I have never heard of accussations that he is not a good role model.

The only people who seem to resent him are fat, ugly, talentless blokes who hate the fact that things have gone his way. I'm sure he worked to get a lot of what he has achieved, and you could too, if you spent more time improving yourself and less time dragging others down to your level.

The talentless will always bag the talented. Jealousy is a curse!

Admit it! You don't like Clarke because he looks better than you, plays better cricket than you and probably smells better than you as well.

Just saw his partner, and it must stick in your craw that he can get hot women, and you can't even pull heifers.

Michael Clarke has shown that he is a tremedous cricketer and captain, and the haters now look pathetic criticising him.

Let's not forget, this is against India, who are one of the best in the world. Clarke and Australia have taken apart on of the best batting sides in the world.

Time for apologies, I think!:p

I think this is exactly the captain's knock he "never delivers" that the haters have wanted. Hopefully this innings and his great captaincy in this and previous series ends the bashing.

Well done Michael Clarke and push on for a triple!

Ummm, his 151 in a total of 284 when in South Africa barely two months ago you don't rate??? When the next two total completed innings in the match were 96 and 47. When only two others reached double figures. Facing Steyn, Philander and Morkel on their turf.

Nah no pressure there...

Had to check the scores from my phone all day, got home just in time to reach his 250. Kudos to you sir Pup. Despite not seeing that strokeplay of yours enjoyed the heck out of reading you make your 2hundos.

I'm saying he should be doing it more regularly, not once in a blue moon ;)

This is a great post :thumbsu:

Good onya Clarkey. Is there really still people giving him shit?

4 hundreds in 11 innings including 251*

Also I've been impressed by his tactical ability as an attacking captain.

Gotta say I haven't always been the biggest fan of him but hes forced me into being a fan when he proves his worth as an elite cricketer like he has since taking on the captaincy.

He could of been the person all the haters think he is and flopped as a captain, but he's done the complete opposite. It takes some cricketer and man to do what hes done.

Well done to our Test Captain and in the the words of Bruce, your missus is Deeliciouss.

Clarke has stuck it up the haters once and for all! Only until the end of the series when his next 4 knocks are 1, 7, 4 & 5.

Clarke has done NOTHING to warrant the hate he gets. NOTHING! He doesn't act up, or get in trouble with police. I have never heard of accussations that he is not a good role model. The bloke dyes his hair, enough said really.

The only people who seem to resent him are fat, ugly, talentless blokes who hate the fact that things have gone his way. I'm sure he worked to get a lot of what he has achieved, and you could too, if you spent more time improving yourself and less time dragging others down to your level.
Why do people like you constantly attempt to use the tired old argument "I bet you can't do it". He hasn't achieved anything more then being an average cricketer, so if Joe bloke the mail man turns up on time and does all his rounds he has every right to criticize clarke for not performing as a captain should.

The talentless will always bag the talented. Jealousy is a curse!

Admit it! You don't like Clarke because he looks better than you, plays better cricket than you and probably smells better than you as well.

Let's not forget, this is against India, who are one of the best in the world. Clarke and Australia have taken apart on of the best batting sides in the world. India couldn't have got out Chris Martin the way they bowled today, they have the worst attack in world cricket right now.

Time for apologies, I think!:p
No thanks.

This is what I'd call nuthugging. Completely the opposite of hating and yet equally annoying.

The trolls aren't even trying anymore, it's like they're just accepting they're obvious.

Clarke was immense today, just like he has been on many other occasions but a score of 250+ is mammoth and fully deserved. Great knock from a very good batsman and a very good captain.
