Patto won't get up in time for the first Test at least.
Why do Lehmann, Clarke and co come from the horny warnie school of thought, earlier captains used to restrain the overblown aggression bull**** since that's how it's naturally played by the players since it's in the system so you don't need the think tank to further overdo it, but now Clarke and Lehmann have had too much of that koolaid and going full ****** with it.

He's more for the rowdy cricket, have 5 six packs before and after a day's play, captain is the ring leader and all your team mates are gang bangers

I agree 5 is his best spot but he's averaged 47, 40 and 55 in his last 3 series before this one against arguably the best bowling sides atm. I think Clarke is one of the most interesting players ever. Refreshingly he's able to acknowledge his weaknesses and become a better player as a result. If anything I think he's under rated and deserves more recognition as one of our great players.

Clarke is rapidly turning into one of those weird players who is generally overrated by the (Australian) public, largely because he still scores for fun for at least two of the five home Tests, but increasingly being underrated here. There's this weird train of thought that he's now somehow merely an average (mid-40s? Seriously?) Test bat when he's still clearly, clearly world class, capable of astonishing innings and - more to the point - big innings, which is a rare commodity that doesn't get enough value. Cape Town was three Tests ago ffs. He's had a horrible series here but it's two Tests.
He might not do his come-in-at-3/30-and-score-a-double thing that he was doing ludicrously often in 2012-13, but on paper he's still our most dangerous batsman IMO.

Haha awta. I think it's the fact that he hadn't played any (bar an ODI against zimbabwe) cricket at all in the last 6 months that contributed somewhat. Can't be easy playing first class and Test games in the UAE heat without match practice and suffering from back injuries, all while facing good and unfamiliar bowling.
He was crap this time and batted very poorly in the bits I saw, but we'll have to see whether he's really out of nick when India tours.

Why would you drop a young guy who has just made 87 and 47 in his last Test match for his brother who just made 0 for WA in his return match, 0 & 0 in his last Test and 0 in his last innings against his opponent on the batting mine-field that is Adelaide Oval - I suppose you could say that Shaun Marsh is due..
