Magneto Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 speaking of humble michael clarke was a prat before he was captain. I am impressed with the way he has acted since he became captain First act of humility was to kick out Katich :P
G_B_ Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 First act of humility was to kick out Katich :P that was a tactical decision. Nobody saying being humble means keep playing people who you dont want in the team
carnish Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 :hysterical::hysterical:potential to be humble?? Yeah, considering we havent heard a lot of his interviews or comments, but just by his looks he seems a humble guy.
Magneto Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 that was a tactical decision. Nobody saying being humble means keep playing people who you dont want in the team There's a difference between not wanting people for personal reasons and tactical reasons. It surely did not look like a tactical reason to many going by the kind of history they had.

They wanted younger batsman at the top.
Magneto Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 he was dropped in order to push forward youth. They already had ponting hussey in the side. They wanted younger batsman at the top. Yes, that was the official reason. But the unofficial reason was something else. It was a bit predictable as well, since many who follow Australian cricket knew that Katich will go the moment Clarke becomes captain.

The fact is Clarke does not wield the level of influence Dhoni does. Australia have selectors who travel with the team and pick even the playing 11 (or have input) as does the coach. Your theory would be more plausible if Clarke was like Dhoni in australia. The fact is nothing for eg is stopping Australia from picking Katich in the T20s where Clarke has nothing to do with anything.
Vanarp22 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 KP Now, that's seriously trolling...:hysterical:
Sean Bradley Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Thats where the problem lies, we dont need humble cricketers, we want MC BC of Wasim & Waqar, at your face attitude of Glenn McGrath and staring up through the chest arrogance of Sarwan, We want Bouncers of Curtly Ambrose and a long follow through, "if you wanna drive go drive a car" sledges of tall west indian bowlers, we want a walk down the pitch and hit you over midwicket dominance of Matthew Hayden and go down on your knees and punch the pitch anger of SreeSanth. Seriously, the Amla's and Pujara's are all tremendous players, but i want to see a contest.
Raghav_12 Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 There's a difference between not wanting people for personal reasons and tactical reasons. It surely did not look like a tactical reason to many going by the kind of history they had. Dropping of Katich can not be entirelty tactical decision. Australia had started struggling and Katich's was one of very few bright performances in that lineup. Next I heard that he wasn't extended a contract by ACB. Even ridiculous treatment meted out to Ojha pales in comparison.
Texan Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Dravid till he retired. Not just humble, but even honest and prepared to handle constructive criticism. In the current lot, Gambhir seems to be the answer. When he got dropped (and he deserved to) , he didn't fault the selectors unlike most others.
I6MTW Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 Gambhir swears. I say Dhoni is the most humble. As in he doesn't show anything.
Texan Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Passion is different from humility. I agree Gambhir is passionate and can give some lip service to the opposition. But he is also humble in the fact that he knows his limitations and doesn't just keep harping on his achievements like that self-centered narcissistic Harbhajan.
