Sustained in that innings when Morkel kept peppering him. Makes that innings even more special! Great stuff Clarkey

I didn't rate Clarke much as a player but since he has become Captain, he has shown that tactically, he is a great captain. This innings against Morkel really opened my eyes as to how tough a cricketer he is! Keep it up! :D

Was definitely a brave innings. Morkel should have bowled a few more full ones though, it's all well and good giving the batsman a beating but that doesn't get you his wicket.

I think Morkel was enjoying himself too much to worry about pitching it up... I reckon Graeme Smith wouldn't have been discouraging him much either.  ;)

Like him or not, that was a brave innings. Not surprised that he hasn't come out of it unscathed.

Bet it was real enjoyable some 140 odd runs later too!
