    ***Official*** India in Australia

    There is quite a few Lleyton Hewitt style C'mons happening around the country right now and not a tennis ball to be seen.

    This could be an interesting total to be chasing. There is still a fair bit there for the bowlers. I am shaking my head at the fact Pathan has been left out for the first two tests.

    OK maybe not drop him but I have sharpened the axe and will be picking it up again if he is out bowled or LBW not playing a shot with Australia 3 for not many :ph34r:

    Hodge & Katich are both wishing you were in charge of the Aussie team a couple of years ago. And yes I play team sports and yes blokes get dropped all the time for a lot less than what Clarke is doing.

    Am I Un-Australian?

    Its a very Australian thing to do - barraking for the underdogs is what we do best. So even if its against our own team its natural to hope the underdog side will do well. Until such point where they start beating us, then we want to smash the hell out of them until they are begging for mercy...

    You are the one who wants to rely on stats and old ashes and debut performances as reasons to keep him. Look at what is happening now thats what matters. He is not performing under pressure currently - the 70 against India 1st test taht you say was under pressure was when we were 2-90 and over...

    The failures far outweigh the successes - see Burgeys earlier post.

    I would accept that but he has got to work on his defence & show some fight. Watching Mike Hussey a bit more might help. The fact is the Australian batting will weaken over the next few years and he will not be able to play the loose way he has or he will find himself in more trouble - he should...

    No I would be happy for him to stick around the crease for an hour and make zero when we are in trouble.

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Let me just say I like Clarke & think he will be a key in a future Australian side. And there is an arguement to say persist with him for that reason. But I think a spell with NSW to get his head right and work on a few things would do him a world of good. However taking a footy cliche - your...

    Katich has put his hand up as well. But still think Hussey is the one.

    When I say "of late" I don't mean a year ago I mean current season. That being Sri Lanka and India. At no point in the Sri Lankan series was there a time where pressure was on. His 70 in the first test was not exactly a game breaking or game saving knock in a game we won easily.

    I would quite happily have Ponting batting for my life over Clarke second innings. Why? Because its clear who is the better batsmen is, while Ponting has had a terrible series there is that feeling he is not far away (Plus Harbajan's not playing:laugh: ). Whereas Clarke seems a long way away...

    You shouldn't pick players on stats. Otherwise Dizzy Gillepsie should be batting at 3 based on his last knock. Its when the runs are scored in the context of the game and against quality bowling. He has had his moments but not of late. He is one great player of spin which is always handy against...

    ***Official*** India in Australia

    Well my arguement is gaining momentum Clapo especially if he fails in a very important second innings. And right you are David is 30 - so the time is now!! He really is up there with his brother now in terms of a quality bat! Perhaps a move back to WA would get him a game as the Vics have been...

    That is very interesting Burgey! It does tell the story so far. What you want from your number four is someone who has two levels to their game - one of attack when a good start has been given and (more importantly) one of defence or rearguard when a poor start has been given. Clarke can...

    I copped a bit of a bashing on here when I suggested Clarke's position should be under review after last test (although he did win the game). Fact is his bowling last test is hid his atrocious form. His decision making at the moment shows someone who is not switched on and badly out of form. I...
