Captain Michael Clarke was Saturday praised as the force behind Australia's second Test victory over India, in which he scored a triple century and took the crucial wicket of Sachin Tendulkar.
Australia won the second Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground by an innings and 68 runs on Friday, helped by Clarke's unbeaten first innings total of 329 runs, which allowed the skipper to declare at a massive 659.
Not content with his efforts with the bat, Clarke then gave himself the ball on Friday, claiming Tendulkar with one of his left-arm spin deliveries when the master batsman was on 80.
The ball, which enticed Tendulkar forward to get a thin edge and was caught by Mike Hussey at first slip, one again robbed the "Little Master" of claiming his 100th international century.
