Fit Michael Clarke wants to play as much cricket as possible
Australian Michael T20I captain Michael Clarke has said that he wantsto play in every game that the Aussies play in. Clarke said that he felt at the peak of his fitness and wanted to be a part of the side
for all the games in a bid to try and get into the best of forms before the all-important World Cup of 2011 to be played in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750.
Clarke arrived in Sydney after leading Australia in the one-off ODI against India and will now captain the side for the Twenty20 international against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 on Sunday.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, no doubt. I think my body is in a pretty good place at the moment."
Clarke, who is the regular captain of the Australian T20I side and leads the ODIs when Ponting is provided a break, did not have a great Test series against India. He struggled to get the runs and was dismissed
in all the four innings. He did show signs of returning back to form in the only ODI that was possible in the series when he scored a 111 against India at Vizag, but that did not lead to an Australian win.
Clarke admitted it has been a lean batting period and said, "I haven't scored as many runs as I would like, so the only way to do that is to get out there in the middle and I'd love to be doing it for Australia.
So hopefully I'll be fighting fit and I'll play every game available."
The Australian vice-captain has never played in the Indian Premier League either and had recently expressed interest in featuring in the tournament to get in shape for the ICC World T20 in 2012.
