Can Clarke name six England batsmen better than KP?

If you thought self-deprecatory quips weren't quite Michael Clarke's thing, his Twitter feed from Tuesday might change your mind. Clarke, replying to questions from fans on the microblogging site, also took the piss on a few occasions, and took it well. The irony of a question on curing lower-back injuries didn't escape Clarke either and he told the fan he, "was asking the wrong guy."

Clarke admitted to trying to grow a moustache for five years, and said he would rather be attacked by "10 duck-sized" horses than one horse-size duck. Shane Warne, Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, Glenn McGrath and Jacques Kallis made the list of the five greatest players he has played with or against, while to Ricky Ponting went the honour of being the untidiest team-mate. Michael Hussey and Andrew Symonds were the batsmen Clarke said he most liked to bat with.

Clarke didn't miss the chance for a pithy dig when TV personality Piers Morgan asked him if he could name six current England batsmen better than Kevin Pietersen. "NO!" was the response.

NO! https://t.co/2paIWAaaEi
