Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

As Alistair Cook's captaincy is being discussed on another thread, what is the current consensus on the Clarke captaincy? I'm pretty happy with him atm. He's had quite a bit to deal with this year, and has ended the year on the verge of pulling off an Ashes whitewash. This has been a tough year for Clarke captaincy, but looking ahead, an even tougher one awaits him in 2014.

Clarke has benefited greatly from playing under Shane Warne, I think, Warne is/was a brilliant captain, was a pleasure to witness him first hand at Hampshire.

expectations will be a lot higher, in 2014

The Clarke Supremacy, seemingly

And eventually we'll have the Clarke Legacy.
