Michael Clarke the same guy all of Australia seemingly hated only 2 and a bit years ago.
One and the sameMichael Clarke the same guy all of Australia seemingly hated only 2 and a bit years ago.
Wasn't it Amla who scored a crucial ton in the 2nd Test in 2008 after not accepting the fielder's word?Amla for me. Great cricket and even greater guy. He always walks if he nicked it, if he was caught and it has to go upstairs he will take the catchers word for it. He does not set himself personnel milestones and only worries about helping the team to win. In my opinion one really good guy.
There's always one.They were - along with Sanga - two of the three batters I rated as the best in the game even a couple of years ago when certainly Clarke and maybe even Amla weren't featuring in such discussions.
He didn't score a ton but the rest is true.Wasn't it Amla who scored a crucial ton in the 2nd Test in 2008 after not accepting the fielder's word?
only 3/4 of australia hated him. typically the same people go on and on about how t20 sucks and how CA sucks for allowing bowlers to get injured and then get angry about a rotation policyMichael Clarke the same guy all of Australia seemingly hated only 2 and a bit years ago.
all of those things are true #uvelocitythoughtsonly 3/4 of australia hated him. typically the same people go on and on about how t20 sucks and how CA sucks for allowing bowlers to get injured and then get angry about a rotation policy
Think he has cleaned up his image incredibly now though.Nah look, Clarke was a tool bag who claimed bounce catches, and who was someone douchey enough for Katich to want to throttle.
He's a lot less douchey now than he was 2-3 years ago. Sure, the Australian cricket bogan public took longer to realise this than the non-bogans, and some of their reasons were **** (wahh he has tattoos) but nevertheless, there was a legitimate gripe against him previously.
Don't see any reason why Katich wasn't the biggest ****head in that whole situation.Nah look, Clarke was a tool bag who claimed bounce catches, and who was someone douchey enough for Katich to want to throttle.

Yeah exactly, so my point is 3-4 years ago his "image" or whatever, just the way he presented himself, **** some people. He changed that, and became more likeable. However much of the cricket public probably only realised this about 12 months ago or so. There was a lag effect between him cleaning himself up, and everyone realising.Think he has cleaned up his image incredibly now though.
