THE Australian skipper meets a young cricketer by the same name on day one of the second Test in Jamaica.During a celebrated career that’s produced 28 Test centuries, four Allan Border Medals and two Ashes triumphs, Australia captain Michael Clarke might have finally met his match.
Well, in namesake at least.
Michael Clarke was introduced to Kingston’s own Michael Clarke – the second Test’s mascot present at the coin toss on the morning of day one at Sabina Park.
A young cricketer from Excelsior School, Clarke shook the visiting captain’s hand and the 110-Test veteran tweeted following the day’s play that he’ll give his new friend his playing shirt at the conclusion of the match.
