Michael Clarke has carried him in a rather discreet way on social networking sites but on Tuesday there was a different image of the Australian Test captain. Clarke responded to fans’ question and revealed some of his personal favourite cricketers.

It was ironical when a fan asked him a question about curing lower back injury. Clarke responded “Hahahaha, your asking the wrong guy.”

Not only did he respond to self critical questions, but he even said that he has been trying to grow a moustache for five years now.

While he picked Brian Lara as his favourite players, he named Sachin Tendulkar, Lara, Shane Warne, Jacques Kallis and Glenn McGrath as the top five players he has played against or with.

He also took a dig when asked if he could name six current English batsmen better than KP by TV personality Piers Morgan. Clarke replied “NO!”.
