Lol overreaction. Warner is still out thereWon't make 300
Based on what? Certainly not numbers.
This is quite pathetic.Mitch won't hang around long
How many other batsmen around the world have been schooled by Babar and Jadeja?Scores big and supports a comparatively weaker batting lineup and he is exceptional against spin from a technical point of view.
Why do they call him Messi?
This is quite pathetic.
What were you doing the last few months?
Bowling?450 builds pressure on its own.

Scoring big means little when it's infrequent compared to better players.
[MENTION=132373]Convict[/MENTION] Marsh's domestic batting stats don't look that impressing.
Reckon Sanga, AB, Amla or Pujara would be schooled by the likes of Babar or Jadeja? This talk of Clarke being one of the best players of spin is all hot air, he's struggled in spin friendly conditions of late (India and now here, for someone to be considered the best in something, don't you think they have to actually perform to back up that claim?). A good player of spin, but the best or near it? Nope.The Jadeja delivery that castled him was no different to Warne's ball of the century and a few dismissals don't hold much water. Warner an Smith have improved recently only, he has been carrying Australia on his back for a long time.
Marsh will get out quickly
Right thanks.He's much better than his stats suggests.
He was selected very early on potential and continued getting games because WA were bat and because he showed glimpses though had little consistency and failed to go with his starts (like many really young but talented players).
Over the last year he has turned that around but he has never really been tested by spin before so I doubt he'll do it here. Still in the young but improving stage
people dissing a newbie raw pakistan bowling attack they still managed to get 4 wickets and restrict aussies to around 2.9 an over.

Yep, he worked him over.Amla got schooled by Younis Khan.![]()

is the pitch just really flat right now or our spinners just can't spin the ball even if their life depended on it?
Fair enough, but to say Clarke is in the top 2-3 players of spin in the world when he has little to suggest it is pure nonsense. It completely disregards the accomplishments of other players who have actually performed against spin.Clarke's back has been extremely problematic in the last 2 years or so. I wouldn't take those Jadeja dismissals too seriously.
I remember the dismissal.He did actually and the field was set up perfectly as well.
Moral of the story: a few dismissals in a large sample size has no relevance.
He may not have great stats but he's very talented specially with the bat...
Performed brilliantly against Lahore lions on a turning pitch
Warner is so impressive these days. I had him pegged as a ODI basher who managed to slog a worn-out England attack in the last Ashes, but he's getting runs under pressure everywhere now. He's a proper test opener.
There's more to just bowling to a fieldset to working someone over.The off-side field was packed and Younis was bowling wide of the off stump enticing Amla into going for it and he did. This is a setup in my opinion.
Because he resembles the greatest footballer to ever live.
but he is good when attacking.I doubt he can stay that long tuk tukking which is the need of the hour.
George Best?
I agree i thought he was just a T20 and ODI specalist but the Ashes and the series v S.A have shown he can adapt his game to tests and still be a sucsess.

To early to discuss the follow on?
I'd have AB, Sanga, Amla, YK and Pujara ahead of him.And who are these great players of spin today? Apart from AB and Sanga who have performed against most spinners? Amla has struggled against Ajmal and even Jayawardene has looked uncomfortable against him. Clarke may not currently be as good as AB and Sanga and YK but he's better than everybody else.
What's the follow on for this match?
I'd have AB, Sanga, Amla, YK and Pujara ahead of him.
He's actually not very good in ODI. It all started really when he punched Joe Root. We should get a few more players to punch Joe Root.
There's more to just bowling to a fieldset to working someone over.
Amla and Pujara above Clarke). Yeah ok Aman. Not to mention Taylor and Williamson eh?
George Best?
Clarke is so underrated here it is sick.
