Michael Clarke’s ton in the second Test in the West Indies was for his fiancee, Lara Bingle,
after the loss of her father. A tearful Clarke looked to the heavens and dedicated his century to
Graham Bingle, who died three weeks ago.
With the Second Test in the balance , Australia declared at 7-479, as Clarke again contributed with his
left arm spin bowling taking 2-7 off seven overs. West Indies reached 3-125 at stumps.
It was a great effort from the “Captain in Waiting”.

There has been a lot of discussion in Australia about the TV coverage of IPL cricket, the time of the coverage, the commentators and no real description of the rules. Why not get channel 10 to put on highlights of the previous nights cricket on at say 6pm. I think that the cricket is very good entertainment and IPL has done a good job. Like all new ventures there is bound to be hiccups, but overall I think that it has been a success. It would appear that there are a lot of viewers in the USA, so maybe that is what the IPL are looking at as the future market !! There is the UK market to consider also.
