Warwickshire all-rounder, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lancashire-c806, to equal the world record of most catches taken in a match.
While he took six catches fielding at slip region, the defying moment came with the wicket of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SI-Mahmood-c2523. This time Clarke was fielding at leg slip, where took a good catch by running backward after the player tried to slog-sweep a delivery of the bowling
off http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JS-Patel-c1747.
Clarke, after the close of Day 3, spoke about the world record in much a humble manner.
"I can't take too much credit because the bowlers toiled away on a decent wicket with the sun out and got the edges," he said. "It is my job to catch them. It has been a match that has been strange because most of the catches have gone to second slip and
I happened to be there for us.”
However, he did talk about one of the catch which flew off the bat of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stephen-Moore-c2572. The 29-year-old was pleased to grab the chance of the player which he missed in the first innings.
His match tally has gone to 9 and one more on Day 4 will mean that he will equal the record of 10 catches in a match, which was set by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Surrey-c851.
However, he has equalled Surrey’s Mickey http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Stewart-c91370 and Northamptonshire’s Tony Brown's record after his heroics at the Aigburth Stadium.
The http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Warwickshire-c862 finally come out to bat in their second innings on Day 4.
Apart from the record breaking catching number, his performance in the match has been ordinary, making 18 in the first innings and remaining wicketless in both the innings.
The tall all-rounder has played in two Test matches for the national team, averaging 32 and 15 with bat and bowl respectively.
Moreover, he has taken part in 20 One-Day Internationals, taking 11 wickets at an average of 37.72.
