After erasing some of Donald Bradman's marks with an unbeaten triple century, Michael Clarke didn't risk upsetting anyone by going on to surpass the great man's highest test score.
So he declared Australia's innings at 659-4 when he was 329 not out — five short of the revered Bradman's mark of 334 — at the drinks break in the middle session Thursday, exactly halfway through the second test against India.
His Australians had a commanding 468-run first innings lead but, on a flat wicket where the bowlers were struggling, Clarke could easily have justified batting on, and breaking a slew of batting records including West Indian Brian Lara's mark of 400 for the highest test score.
