Do you know what the tattoo on Michael Clarke's left arm says? asked Ahsan Raja from the United States
The original tattoo on Michael Clarke's left arm said "carpe diem", which is Latin for "seize the day". A couple of years ago another tattoo appeared there, seemingly in Arabic: a report in the Australiannewspaper in January 2008 suggested it meant "The pain of discipline is nothing like the pain of disappointment," which was apparently a phrase occasionally used by Justin Langer (perhaps just after he was sconed by Makhaya Ntini in his 100th Test!). However, I'm not sure that Clarke has ever confirmed this - or explained why he apparently chose to have it translated into Arabic.
