Day Two of the first Test between Australia and India at the Adelaide Oval was a dull rainy, day. However, the sun has been shining brightly upon Australia captain Michael Clarke not just professionally, but on the personal front too.

Yesterday, Clarke led his team from the front, scoring a hardworking 163-ball 128 studded with 18 fours while battling a back injury simultaneously. Twenty-four hours earlier, around the same time the skipper was working towards his century, a young family from the eastern suburbs was signing on the dotted line to buy the cricketer's former Sutherland Shire home.
