He's 28. Rich. Engaged to one of Australia's most famous fashion models, and among the world's most technically correct batsmen.

He has been an automatic choice as specialist batsman in a world-beating side since his Test debut five years ago.

But it would be fair to say that 'Pup' Clarke has not done full justice to his awesome gifts as batsman, despite the occasional glimpses shown of potential greatness.

That said, his sensational match-winning performances as bowler against India at the Wankhede Stadium in 2004 and, again, at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2007, have stamped him as a "cometh the moment, cometh the man" warrior with nerves of steel.
