Adelaide:Australia captain Michael Clarke, while delighting in the 4-0 whitewash of India, re-emphasised on Saturday that the triumph was just a staging post to the goal of being the best Test team in the world.Clarke, who took over as captain in March, was named Man of the Series for his unbeaten 329 in the second Test in Sydney and double century in the 398-run victory at the Adelaide Oval on Saturday.
It completed a remarkable turnaround for Clarke and hi
s team from the start of last year when, as stand-in skipper, he presided over the last rites of Australia's first Ashes series defeat on home soil in 26 years.
The Ashes debacle saw Australia drop to fifth in the world Test rankings and Clarke's stated mission is to return to the top.
"We're currently ranked fourth in the world," he said. "We've got a hell of a lot of work to do to get back to where I see this team going and would love to see this team going.
"But we've played some fantastic cricket. We've shown a lot of people around the world that we're on the way up, which is a really positive sign.
