@arhs Looking at the scorecard ND tried very hard to lose that game in the last over. How can an opener (Clarke) be not out but only face 12 balls? He made the most of them, of course! Did he retire hurt and then return?

Yep, retired hurt and then had to return at the end, after the ND batting line-up somehow failed to score the 70 or so runs still needed in the intervening 17 overs... an unusual game. Someone needed to tell several of the ND top order that it was too late to audition for the New Years Day test, or to be Jos Buttler in Adelaide...
