Clarke because Ponting is actually a good player under pressure (most of the time :P) a good bloke & a good player.
Clarke is just a knob.
Ponting :b

[Hawka]

grr u cant complain ponting for losing 3 series he has captained alomost the most tests and he has been has captained 4 series and lost al those players in 09 and 10//11

[Cicjose]

well had ponting had a say in selection and been smart he would have scouted the country for possible replacements and given the selectors a short-list of players he would like to see in the team

[Hawka]

u cant rely scout we ur playin  ::)

[Cicjose]

i meant in the time between the start of domestic season and the first test of the summer

[HillHero13]

Ponting didnt lose 3 ashes series in a row, he lost this one and the one before, thats 2...

He has lost 3 as captain overall.. and Clarke is a knob cricketer, but you have to give him time as captain, yeah his been vice but when your vice your ideas get put in and thrown out because the captain makes the decision..

i say Cic is worse for getting the Ponting stat wrong ;) im only joking..

[8-6 Suited]

Ponting has lost a few more series than 3 over-all though hasn't he?

[Cicjose]

sorry hill hero

Ricky Ponting remains the most successful Australian captain of all time, with 48 victories in 77 Tests since 2004 - 31 December 2010
