Despite his clear username advantage, that bloke isn't even a captain of any teams on that site.

I know you know, thats why I wrote that you average ****
It's good that Clarke is going down the inventive road too, because he'd never get remembered as the grittiest or the most eloquent.

Lets wait and see how Clarke gets on against a good side, after all he failed to beat New Zealand at home. Not exactly brilliant form that is it?

What captain wins all the time, look at Strauss he got his ass handed to him by Pakistan.

yes because the captain remotely controls every single one of his players

I'm not as big a wrap on Clarke's captaincy as several in this thread but this is a silly argument IMO. Unless you think Australia lost to New Zealand because of poor captaincy then it's not really relevant.

Using your criteria he then thrashed India. He's gone from hopeless to the best that's possibly ever lived in one series. He could be at the bottom again if he draws his next series against whoever isn't England though.

Well so far he has done well in SL poorly against NZ, brilliantly against India (who doesn't at home though) and is winning in WI. He is being hyped up yet his team may lose next week and draw the series against WI. Not exactly the record of a brilliant captain. The opposition played so far haven't been the strongest so as I say we wait to see what happens against a better side like Pakistan, SA or England. Be able to judge his side and his captaincy much easier after series against those sides.Using your criteria he then thrashed India.

One thing in his favour though he is more dynamic than Poontang ever was. Not difficult though.
For the record, Strauss is an ordinary captain. Got a decent side and anyone could captain the side the run they were on, he fell way short this winter. Wouldn't replace him though as I am not convinced Cook is any better.
