This guy would be playing for any other country if he wasn`t Australian. I`ve seen him play a few times and he looks awesome.

He`s 26 and I`d chuck him in the Test team, doesn`t have to open. Awesome bastman. Average of 55 at a strike-rate of 70 in FC cricket is incredible.

What do you think?

Got to string a couple of good seasons together before i get on the bandwagon. Looked good tho in the matches i saw him tho

I agree he should be in the team, but I think he's going to have to wait for a retirement in the top order somewhere, and even then he might be behind Hussey.

Nnanden · 10-08-2005, 06:22 AM

What more can he do? I`m very surprised he`s not a main option.

Look at Clarke`s domestic record. They barely compare.

Certainly no where near clarkes feilding.

Nnanden · 10-08-2005, 06:37 AM

Does he need to be? His batting MORE than makes up for it.

Nnanden · 10-08-2005, 06:39 AM

And he`s currently 44* off 58 balls.

I think the other problem is that jacques is an opener, whilst clarke is a middle order player. A position opened up in the australian team for a middle oder player, hence clarke got the oppurtunity to represent australia rather than jacques or hussey for that matter

Nnanden · 10-08-2005, 06:43 AM

I believe without doubt he could dominate down the order.

I think he`s batting at five in this match for the Yorks. Heck, he batted at nine on his debut for NSW.

Play as a bowler did he?

Nnanden · 10-08-2005, 06:45 AM

Hahah nah, must`ve been injured or summant. Did pretty well too I think. Second innings he opened.

King_Ponting · 10-08-2005, 06:53 AM

hahaha macgill captained that game...... WTF. Explains him batting above Jacques. Selfish p rick

An average of 55 with only 5 not out's.. Impressive..

If Australia have more talent like that, they've got nothing to worry about when the 30+ brigade all retire.
