Nottingham (England), Aug 6: Australia's Test Captain Michael Clarke became butt of all jokes and faced severe criticism after his side was demolished by England pacers in the first innings on the opening day of the 4th Ashes Test here today.

Pacer Stuart Broad took 8 wickets as Australian batting line up crumbled like a castle of cards for just 60 runs in 18.3 overs (111 balls).

After such a humiliating performance in a must win game, fans started criticising Australia captain Michael Clarke who's poor form with the bat continued in this game as well.

Australian Cricket fans took to social networking site Twitter questioning the captaincy and batting of the World Cup winning team's skipper. Some even made jokes out of Clarke and said this could well be his last game.
