When?

2009 Ashes - http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=4249;type=series

[Vic Nicholas]

Clarke made two centuries in the 2006/07 Ashes series as well.

If you want a real Ashes failure, you need not look any further than Ian Bell whose Ashes career has spanned the exact same tests as Clarkes.

Or Marcus North, whose career has been ended by his inability to play Graeme Swann

He couldn't handle anyone in the end.

He still made two centuries and a 96 in the 2009 Ashes - where was Swann then?

[alba caerulea]

He was busy picking up the Urn

Who are the loyal Australians commentating of this game?

Haha, are those rose tinted specs you wear for prescription purposes. If not they must really hurt your eyes!!

Ian Bell disgrace:-

Avg 32 and improving if you look at the last couple of years

Clarke's record against England is very good:

Clarke is a class act for sure, possibly time to start moving up the order & prove himself in the top 3 or 4. If he's successful at this he can be included in the bracket of world greats like Kallis, Dravid, Lara, Ponting who have all done this. Love watching Clarke bat especially against spin. I've a feeling he wouldnt have any problems against Ajmal.

That's it, keep talking it up

Relax guys, England should still be too good in 2013.

The fact still remains though, that it took Bell until his 20th Ashes test (a dead rubber too) to register a century, and even then, he was out before he made 50 but was reprieved by a faulty hot spot (though snicko later confirmed he did indeed edge the ball).

In regards to snicko, I still don't understand why they don't use that as part of the DRS.
