Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko te rangatira o Ahitereiria a Michael Clarke e kii ana i te poroporoaki ki te kirikiti o te ao kotahi-ra i te Ratapu <unk> ki te whakaora i a ia ano mo tetahi atu wero ki te whakaiti i Ingarangi. Kua whakatau te 33-tau-tau ki te reti mai i te kēmu 50-over i muri i tana arahi i tana whenua ki te whiringa toa o te Ipu o te Ao, me te whakaaro kotahi ki te arahi i nga Aussies ki te whakaaturanga o te Ashes o tenei raumati i Ingarangi. "Ko te mea nui ki ahau ko te angitu tonu i roto i te whakatakotoranga Whakamatau", i kii a Clarke. <unk> Ki taku whakaaro mā te haere atu i te kirikiti kotahi rā, tērā pea ka whai wāhi nui ahau.<unk> Ka ringihia e Michael Clarke te ringaringa o te kaipuke o Aotearoa a Brendon McCullum i mua i te whakamutunga o te Rātapu. A ko te tūponotanga o te tūponotanga mō Ingarangi me te hiahia nui ake o Clarke ki te wikitōria i tētahi raupapa o te Tohu Pū, i te mea kua hinga ia i ana haerenga e toru o mua. I eke a Clarke i ngā tūranga e rua hei ārahi i a Ahitereiria ki te whiwhinga 5-0 o te kapa pouri a Alastair Cook i te hotoke whakamutunga, engari e hiahia ana ia kia pakaru tana pato i Ingarangi i roto i te mea ka tata tonu ki te mea ko tana haerenga a Ashes whakamutunga. "Kaore au i huna i muri i te meka e kitea ana e au ko te kirikiti Whakamatau te tihi o ta maatau hakinakina", i kii a Clarke, nana nei i wikitoria 108 nga kape Whakamatau, tae atu ki te 30 ki Ingarangi. I puta te whakapuakitanga ohorere a te 33-tau-tau i te huihuinga pānui i te ata o te Rahoroi. Kāore au i haere i taua huarahi ahakoa he aha te mea pai hei mahi mō te painga o te iwi whānui, e mōhio ana ahau kua kite koe i roto i taku mahi, kua whiwhi au i te nui o ngā whiu i roto i te waha. Engari ko au ko wai ahau, ko te pono ki a au ake, a kaore au i te kino ki te kii ko taku whakapono ko te Cricket Whakamatau te waahanga uaua o ta maatau keemu. E aroha ana ahau ki taua wero, he tino uaua ki ahau ia whakataetae Whakamātautau e takaro ana ahau. E kite ana ahau i te mea ko te tihi. Kei te whakaaro tonu ahau he nui aku mea hei tuku ki te kapa hei rangatira mo te kapa Whakatau o Ahitereiria, me te hiahia kia mohio au kei te angitu tonu ahau i taua whakatakotoranga. I whakaingoatia a Clarke hei rangatira i roto i nga whakatakotoranga katoa i te wa i tu atu ai a Ricky Ponting i muri o te 2011 World Cup. Ka eke ia ki tana 245 o nga ra kotahi mo Ahitereiria me tana 75 hei rangatira...
