More? Blewwy was the top run-scorer for both the Pura Cup and ING Cup competitions. What more could he have done? HELLO Mcfly..............Besides again he needed to do more this year it's all about being in form at the right time.
If you said he's too old, then fine but on stats, there's little more he could have done relative to the rest of the batsmen in the comp.
Realistically, Clarke won't get a game in the main side and shouldn't for a while yet. He needs another solid season before he'll be considered. His call-up is more to do with giving him a 'taste' for life at the top level, something which virtually all of the players listed previously have all had. It's nothing new.
Nah, Andre's opinion is clouded but more by Blue, eh Andre?It does make his opinion more valid because he gives a varied view, never clouded by the green and gold...
As a serious Test option, if either Lehmann or Love were injured, I'd still pick Katich over Clarke and that's completely disregarding stats. I still have a soft spot for Michael Slater too. Either way, if I were a selector, there's NO WAY I'd pick Clarke in the Tests it's far too early and there's a few technical issues (not fully exploited by interstate bowlers yet) that he'd have to work on.
And anyway, who cares if he has a 'good 15 years' at the top. Would you prefer he has, say, 10 years averaging 45+ or 15 years averaging 35+ because he was picked too early?
