Unsuccessful ... Clarke's stint at No.3 lasted one ball. Source: Rob Griffith / AAP
Michael Clarke's decision to promote himself from No.5 to No.3 in the batting order has started in disastrous fashion, with the skipper making a first-ball duck against India on Friday.
After the first day's play of the third Test had been washed out in Mohali, Clarke won the toss and his side reached 0-109 at lunch on Friday.
However following the dismissal of David Warner, caught by wicketkeeper MS Dhoni off the bowling of left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja for 71 at 1-139, Clarke charged down the pitch to his first delivery and was stumped.
Clarke had been Australia's leading scorer in the first two Tests of the four-match series with 268 runs.
The 31-year-old Clarke was also the leading run-scorer in Test cricket in 2012.
But an inexperienced side - plus the poor form of Phil Hughes at No.3 and the one-match suspension for No.4 and vice-captain Shane Watson over the "homeworkgate" affair - convinced Clarke he needed to inject himself into the vital No.3 spot in Mohali.
Australia's troubles continued 12 runs after Clarke's dismissal when Hughes was out for two to spinner Pragyan Ojha.
