Solo effort from Clarke

AFP, st Georgia
Michael Clarke enhanced hls reputation with a handy all-round performance that gave Australia a 2-0 lead in their five-match one-day international series with West Indies, when they won the rain affected second match by 63 runs on Friday.
The Australia vice-captain followed up a vital innings of 56 from 98 balls with three wickets for 26 runs from six overs, as the visitors successfully defended a revised victory target under the Duckworth-Lewis Method of 204 from 41 overs.
Clarke earned the man of die match award, as the Australians restricted West Indies to 140 for eight from their allocat ion of 41 overs.
Shivnarine Chanderpaul's 45
not out from 77 balls was the top score for West Indies, but no other West Indies batsman suggested substance or stability.
Australia won the opening match by 84 runs last Tuesday at the Arnos Vale Sports Complex just outside the St. Vincent & the Grenadines capital of Kingstown.
The third ODI in the series will be contested on Saturday also at the Queen's Park Stadium.
Clarke, bowling his uncomplicated left-arm spin, snuffed the life out of any idbas West Indies had of a fightback, after they subsided to 49 for four in the 21 st over.
He removed Patrick Browne for one, Kieron Pollard for a duck, and Darren Sammy for nine either side of a near hour-long stoppage for rain to leave West Indies 74 for seven in the 31 st over.
Australia had set West Indies back from the very first ball of the innings, when Brett Lee had Xavier Marshall caught behind for a duck.
