Concerns about Michael Clarke
Love the bloke but NUFAN brought this up in the Aus-India thread earlier today:
Clarke when the pressure's off
Thoughts?
Love the bloke but NUFAN brought this up in the Aus-India thread earlier today:
and also the blog Pappus' plane looks at the exact same thing:I have just decided to look at Michael Clarke's stats a bit closer.
I wanted to see how he performed in situations where he went out to bat with Australia on a bad score.
He's batted at 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 so it was hard to say exactly what a bad score is, however I decided on 2/50 3/75, 4/120, 5/160 and 6/190.
There has been 12 instances in his career where he's come into bat in a bad situation and in that time he has made 203 runs at an average of 16.92 with a highest score of 37.
Do you think 12 innings is too small or a slight problem for Clarke? I have to say there was an instance when the score was 4/121 [just off the criteria] and he made a score which would have helped the average a bit.
