Fresh from leading his side to a 95-run over India in the World Cup semi-final , Australia captain Michael Clarke was temporarily stumped by a reporter 's line of questioning during the post-match press conference . Flanked by team-mate Steve Smith , who hit 105 off just 93 balls to propel Australia to victory , Clarke fielded questions from the assembled media following his side 's seismic victory . 'Michael you 've had tremendous sex as Australia captain , ' asked BBC reporter Stephan Shemilt before correcting himself and re-stating that he intended to say 'success ' . Australia captain Michael Clarke ( left ) and Steve Smith are clearly amused by the bungled line of questioning . Steve Smith celebrates after running out Indian batsman Ravindra Jadeja during the World Cup semi-final . 'Interesting , ' a clearly amused Clarke replied amid a chorus of laughter among the assembled press . 'You might have that as well I do n't know , ' replied Shemilt . 'How well do you know me . That 's a question for my wife , ' Clarke added , as Smith struggled to contain his laughter at the top table . Australia will face arch rivals New Zealand in Sunday 's World Cup final at the Melbourne Cricket Ground . Smith whacks the ball for six runs during his innings of 105 from 122 balls as Australia set India 329 to win . Australia skipper Clarke reflects after missing a catch but it did n't prevent their victory . The Black Caps are the only unbeaten team of the tournament so far , having trumped Australia as well in the pool stages , but Clarke said told Sky Sports World Cup : 'We 're playing some really good cricket at the moment . 'Losing to New Zealand gave us that kick up the backside . I still do n't think we 've played the perfect game yet . I think we 've improved every game and now we 're excited to be in the final . ' I think the boys have played some outstanding cricket . Smithy was exceptional once again . He 's hitting the ball so sweetly , and I 'm really proud of the execution under pressure there from our bowlers . ' Mitchell Johnson jumps for joy after taking the wicket of India 's Rohit Sharma for 34 runs . Smith 's century comes in a tournament that has already seen him make scores of 95 , 72 and 65 , and the stand-in Test captain hopes there is plenty left in the bag for Sunday . 'Another big hundred would be nice , ' he said . 'It 's nice to contribute to a few wins . It was a pretty big stage , the semi-final of a World Cup . I 'm just happy that we got over the line in the end . '
