Everyone who is saying that Clarke is struggling against the short ball because of his back probably are kidding, because any bowler who has bowls a well directed short ball is always gonna trouble him, so nothing new this.

Swann concedes 2 less runs after 5 overs then James Anderson does after 18 hehe. I love English spinners getting pwned

Clarke is not picking up length early at all. Even against Swann he's not nearly as quick as he normally is.

Clarke dealt with it in a way that would suggest he's sore. He never got down. It won't be the only thing but i'm sure it's a big part of it.

People should learn from Hussey here. Not saying he will score a big one, but nevertheless playing aggressively on these kind of pitches is clearly the better option. Staying around too long and an inevitably a wicket ball will come.

Yeah agreed, not even so crazy, s/r of 65. Puts England on the backfoot and keeps things ticking, moving towards the English score.
