Is Michael Clarke the best captain around?

You are not going to get a sensible answer from Flibberty,

Clarke has lead Australia against SA, IND, WI, SL. and NZ but Flibberty wants to see how they go against the good teams.

Misbah has lead Pakistan Against ZIM, BANG,SL, WI and ENG and Flibberty likes Misbah because he has played against the good teams.

Out of curiosity when was the last time England beat one of the good teams.

A 2 match series against SA in which you had one game in the bag and threw it away.

As I have said Misbah is the best captain, to take that shambolic situation he inherited and go longer unbeaten than all others bar SA at present is a remarkable achievement. If you want to keep going over the same points then carry on. I am bored of you and your pathetic responses.

As for Coco the Clown, yes Fleming was a very good captain, he worked with limited resources and got the best from his team and kept a pretty ordinary side punching above their weight for many years. If you think that Clarke is better fair enough but I think most people would agree that Clarke has more better players at his disposal than Fleming had.

Clarke has made a promising start but you lot are going on like he is Benaud or something, all I was saying was lets wait another year or so before claiming he is some sort of superman. FFS can't anyone have a differing opinion without upsetting the crims these days?

I think there's a tendancy to equate aggressive captaincy with good captaincy. It's probably a failing I share myself.

What I will say about Clarke is that he has the balls to back his instincts and his instincts have served him pretty well so far. Clarke at least gives the impression his captaincy makes a difference to his team's performance; too many are prepared to captain by rote and, sadly, I'd probably have to include Strauss in that bracket.

I never said Clarke was better. Lucky reading isn't in the Olympics.

What happens if you type 'thesaurus' into an online thesaurus?

You get a different response to the one you get if you type it into one of those pornographic video websites I have never seen.
