Why has Michael Clark not realised he can't play shots wide of off stump?

He doesn't get accross to the pace bowlers and plays away from his body which means he hits in the air through covers and often edges to slips/keeper. He would make a lot more runs if he left balls wide of off because he hardly ever makes runs when it counts and goes out this way. Needs to leave these balls, good batsmen don't play shots they can't play very well.

Who is coaching these blokes!

alfy!

oh dear, i'm a genuine No.11. I recon I know what blokes should be doing but can't do it myself! It's very obvious though, he goes out the same way a lot playing balls that don't need to be played at in the same area.
