England v Australia ODIs

[ledge]

Just watched the 4th game and Australia is nowhere near up to it.
Playing blokes like Lee who couldnt even get through 5 overs let alone 10 without getting injured.
I still see the selectors as picking favourites

I read somewhere Clarke rings Warne everyday for captain advice, would think thats a sign he has no idea and no confidence on his own captaincy, why make him captain if he has nothing to bring to the table of his own?

Australia was lucky it didnt get a hiding even bigger, the bad luck England had with umpiring decisions and dropped catches.
If Australia produces this during the Ashes series its going to be a complete whitewash.

I don't get the love affair with Lee, he is way passed his best.

What's wrong with picking the brain of probably one of our best cricket brains?
Agree though, don't get the Brett Lee love.

Appeasing sponsors. Nothing more, nothing less.

Exactly. It's the reason why he keeps getting contracts.

Bit uncalled for isn't it?Clarke's got a good record so far, but I guess there's no appeasing some people.

Most people not judging his captaincy solely on this series would probably say so.

This series he is ringing Warne 0-4 loss and hidings too.
So ringing Warne has worked?
Clarkes record isnt that good, beating India at home has been the norm for every team the last 4 years and drawing with NZ

Re: England v Australia ODIs

It's ODI, who gives a stuff?
Clarkes record as captain in tests recently has been good.

You're criticising Clarke for (maybe) ringing Warney during a one day series - after you 'read it somewhere'.

The earlier comments on selection are probably fair enough - but I think the Clarke critisism is pretty petty.
