carnish Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 In today's date, Clarke is the best batsman in the world.
Trichromatic Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Clarke would end up being regarded as better bat than Ponting by the time he finishes his career. No doubt about that. Huge respect for this guy. Clarke has long way to go to match Ponting.
Bradman99 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Anyone one can do it at home on flat wickets. Let him do something overseas... :winky: Anyone, really? Give the guy some credit maan!
Trichromatic Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Give the guy some credit maan! Don't expect that from everyone.
Bradman99 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Don't expect that from everyone. Haha true!
panther Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 clarke is not a ftb anyone remember his ton in cape town plus he can play spin better than any non sc batsman and would be in the top 10 players of spin in the world. average of 48 when you remove draws and 52 with draws so not an ftb.
India-KXIP fan Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Might cross 400 tomorrow. He's good at home, but let's see if he can perform in India. I have my doubts. Clarke averages around 62 at home but 41 away. Great players like Dravid, SRT for example are above 50 in both.
SLICKR392 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Might cross 400 tomorrow. He's good at home, but let's see if he can perform in India. I have my doubts. Clarke averages around 60 at home but only 40 away. Great players like Dravid for example are above 50 in both. He struggled in Windies.
India-KXIP fan Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 He struggled in Windies. Averages above 45 away only against England out of the big teams. 39 in India, 34 in South Africa. To be considered great he has to perform in these places, the upcoming India tour is an opportunity for him.
coffee_rules Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 And to think he never scored a double 100 since his debut in 2004 until this year! HTB!
Old guy Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 also more than 200 its his 150 against south africa in south africa is which i love the most thisnguy was batting on different track while every on else struggled
Raghav_12 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Clarke has long way to go to match Ponting. No long way. I feel he is almost there. After 2008 when most of the older generation retired for australia, both of Clarke and Ponting had chance to help Aus revive. That's where Ponting failed and Clarke succeeded. In any case I don't rate Ponting much. His scored extravagantly between 2002-07 only when Australia team was very strong and each one of their batsmen were piling runs. But once cushion of Langer and Hayden and assurance of Gilchrist gone, Ponting failed miserably.
akshayxyz Posted November 22, 2012 Author Posted November 22, 2012 What is the logic behind bringing up home/away averages, when we are talking about 4 x 200+ test scores in a calendar year..never done before!!, home or away or in any other part of observable universe?

Clarke Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 What can i say, Steyn & co. are almost a child's play :bebored:
putrevus Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Our great batsmen made these flat pattas ,concrete wickets as some green tops. Hats off to clarke though.
