50 reasons why Michael Clarke is a knob

[Ringo]

I was concerned with his Captaincy under pressure in SA made some fielding placement blunders and at times bowling choices left a lot to be desired.

Am reserving final opinion on whether this aspect has improved till after the India series.  With due respect to NZ you look like a hero when something comes off but as Ross Taylor states NZ batsmen helped us with poor shots,

he only scores runs when the top order fails making him look better than he is

?? What does that mean? Surely if he scores when nobody else does, that is a good thing?

Not a huge Clarke fan myself, but has done VERY well since getting the captaincy (batting wise anyway)

I agree, as much as I call him a knob yadda yadda, as a test player he is a good batsmen, it's just when he has a strike rate of 50 in a T20 that he annoys me :P

When I was at the T20 and Clarke went out to bat I nearly lost it. The most boring thing I have ever seen.

The most boring thing you've ever seen? Bit of an exaggeration there? :P

He is really boring

T20 cricket really is just for the monies

The title says it all. People have been saying that he is a knob for a while now, so here is a chance to give reasons.

1. Reason 1
(Just the first dismissal)

#10 and #1, even more so.
