Mmm..I'd prefer Chappell. At least he offers something cantankerous and mildly interesting/controversial, whereas Hussey gives me 'wow this is like a T20' or 'back in your day Tub you just left well in the first 12 balls' or 'I used to get nervous before I batted'. Give me a spell.

I can't think of another job in the world that rewards and perseveres with poor performance like TV commentary does. I honestly can't.

Didn't see the delivery, but got the impression that Aaron's thinking wasn't along the line of "hey, lets get this out of the way, lets play some hard competitive cricket" and was instead more like "yea **** you, you ready for some short stuff? Remember your buddy died from one of these, lets see how you can handle it".
Dunno what gave you that impression.

It was a new batsman coming in and he had just taken a wicket after being smashed all over before and hence fired up.

It's a well known theory that Clarke has a short ball problem, and pretty much every side peppers him with a few earlier. If anything, it would be disrespectful/poor taste not to.

You know it's been a bad session when Ishant Sharma is your best bowler.

Also according to Cricinfo, Aaron bounced Clarke first ball and tried to stare him down? If true, what a massive ****.
No Cricinfo said they stared each other down. Which is what happened.

Clarke is alternating between looking utterly imperious and batting with a stump off each ball
