Score: 329*
Opposition: India
Venue: Sydney
Result: Australia won by an innings and 68 runs

In one of the most memorable innings ever played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Michael Clarke mesmerized the home crowd and orchestrated a crushing victory over India. A 334-run partnership for the fifth wicket with Michael Hussey virtually took the game beyond India by the third day as Clarke became only the sixth Aussie to get a triple-ton in Tests.
