Boxing Day Test Aus/Sri

Clarke confident of playing

Australian captain Michael Clarke completed a light training session on Christmas Day.
Clarke injured his right hamstring in the first Test in Hobart last week and has been racing the clock to be fit to lead his side into a potential series-clinching victory.
In the team's final training session, he completed a variety of running drills under the watchful eye of team physio Alex Kountouris.The 31-year-old remained optimistic of taking to the field on Wednesday. 
Clarke said he will only play if he is confident the injury won't affect his batting and reiterated that whatever decision is made will be done for the benefit of the team. While on the other hand Srilankan tiger hopes are alive to comeback and level the series.
The second test between Australia and Srilanka is on 26 December.
