Clarke: Pup in profile

Michael John Clarke is captain of the Australian cricket team for both Test and ODI cricket.

Nicknamed "Pup", he is a right-handed middle-order batsman, and an occasional left-arm orthodox spin bowler.

After making his Test debut in 2004, he has gone onto become Australia's best batsman. Clarke's poor form during the 2005 Ashes series and his failure to score a Test century for over a year saw him dropped from the Test team in late 2005. 

On 22 November 2012, Clarke scored a double century at the Adelaide Oval, making him the only Test batsman to ever achieve four double centuries in a calendar year.
