Even before his test debut, which came in 2004 against India, Michael Clarke was touted as the future captain of Australia. Hardly any one was surprised when Michael Clarke announced his arrival to test cricket with a class 151. It took Michael Clarke a year's test cricket to learn about its vagaries. Once a golden boy of Australian cricket, Michael Clarke was fighting for a place in the test team. In one day cricket however, Michael Clarke was a permanent fixture and managed to keep his bating average in the healthy mid-forties. Michael Clarke, although an aggressive batsman, does not show any streak of recklessness. His cool head and wristy shots have led many to draw comparisons with Mark Waugh and Greg Chappell.
