Fiery, Stuart Clark at this moment in time is an ordinary ODI bowler. However, Tait is even more ordinary, so really, its a 'pick em' as far as I'm concerned. I would have picked Clark because he has a bobble head.

I find it hard to believe you Australians don't recognise what a good bowler Clark is. The best test match bowler for you of the year and he is constantly slated in this forum. He can't have been any worse in this series than MG Johnson: ave 113.00 rpo 7.53. Ridiculous decision to leave him out imo (please note the imo)

Clark is obviously a fantastic test/FC bowler. I think people overstate how bad he is in ODIs, but you really can't argue that he deserves to be picked for the ODI team because of his test form regardless of how badly he actually bowls in ODIs. He has had plenty of chances, after all.

I must say, after watching highlights of Watson's celebration when he got Fulton out, I'm now 100% convinced he's the biggest tool in world cricket. Honestly, you just got hit at over 10 an over, take a wicket with some dignity Watson FFS.

With that logic a guy could get 10 wickets of 0 runs in a test and not expect to play in the next ODI

You left out the end of that sentence. As I said, you can't argue that a guy deserves to be picked in ODIs based on his test form regardless of how badly he actually bowls in ODIs. Clark deserved a run in the ODI side based on his test performances, and he got one. He will get another one at some point, I'm sure. Maybe very soon if Lee doesn't pull up right for the WC.

Haha, this has to be the worst criticism ever. Maybe because he got hit at 10 an over (and so was everyone else) was the reason he was so happy to get a wicket?

Nah, he just acts like a tool, seeing as he does it every game. Generally though he's only being hit for 6-7 an over when this happens.

A 31 average at 5.48 rpo is hardly disastrous after just 24 games
