Clarke and Ponting shared a record 288-run partnership as Australia flayed India’s attack to be 482-4 at stumps on Wednesday for a 291-run first innings lead.
Clarke finished the day unbeaten on 251, his first double century and the highest score by an Australian at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with Mike Hussey on 55. Australia added 366 runs for the loss of one wicket on the second day.
“It’s a nice start to 2012,” Clarke said. “To score some runs today is very special. The team is in a wonderful position at the moment, 280—odd run lead, but the wicket has flattened out a lot so the most important thing for us is making sure there is enough time in the game to give ourselves a chance to bowl India out.” continuereading
