Michael Clarke by scoring a brilliant 141 in the Brisbane Test against New Zealand has joined a very exclusive club of batsmen who have scored a hundred in their first ever Test appearance, both at home and abroad. Clarke had started his Test career with a match winning 151 against India at Bangalore last month. Only five batsmen have performed this feat before Clarke.
