Clarke the new Australian captain

Michael Clarke as been appointed as the captain of Australian team since Ponting has been injured. Clarke will lead Australia in the 5th Ashses Test in Sydney against the England side. Clarke becomes the 43rd captain for Australia in the Test matches. Clarke has been the deputy for Ponting since 2008 and has got a chance to lead the side in 18 ODI and 18 T20's so far.

Clarke captaincy in the final Test will be watched closely by the Australian team management and the critics as well. Clarke has been regarded as the successor of Ponting for quiet a long time now. It all depends on how well Clarke can handle the pressure especially with his personal form being a big question mark. Can the Aussies pull back one to salvage pride though the Ashes would be retained by English men.Will have to wait to see the action.

Australia Vs England Live Score

At last Australia have found some form during the V ODI being proceeded in the Oval Cricket ground. The players responsible for gaining some pride are Ricky Ponting and Micheal Clarke and right now the captain is batting belligerently at 91 runs of 91 balls and almost heading for his next century and equally the Vice Captain Micheal Clarke scoring so briskly and playing at 75.

In fact the toss was won by England Captain and he had decided to send Australia to bat first. At present the Australians are batting at 226 for 2 in 42 overs. England has already won the series by 3 matches to nil but in the final match I think Australians may bounce back.
