That, or he’s putting in an early audition for a commentary role post his cricket playing days.

The Australian skipper, who is sitting out the rest of the four-Test series against India after undergoing surgery on his hamstring, is providing running analysis of the second Test at the Gabba via Twitter.

Clarke, who posts sporadically on social media, has ticked over 1 million Twitter followers in the process.

Perhaps that’s the reason behind the posting spree?

His first Tweet provided followers with an update on his health post-surgery ...

Like most Australian fans, Clarke would’ve been concerned when Mitchell Marsh, who took the only wicket of the first session, hobbled off the ground just after lunch.

“Pup” was right, with Cricket Australia confirming Marsh left the field with hamstring soreness after grimacing as he sent down the final delivery of his sixth over.

And Clarke joined in the disappointment when Cheteshwar Pujara was given out caught behind off Josh Hazlewood, despite replays indicating the ball came off the grille of Pujara’s helmet.

Clarke has also shown plenty of encouragement and support for his teammates, including Shane Watson, who he believes is an underrated bowler.

Clarke has also given his followers an insight into how he thinks out in the middle and some of the tactics he would be using if he was playing.

Clarke also had some advice for first Test hero Nathan Lyon.

The injured captain send these Tweets after lunch ...

However Lyon directly contradicted his captain and chose to bowl around the wicket.

Clarke’s Twitter activities have certainly caught the eye of Shane Warne, one of world cricket’s most prolific and colourful users of social media.
