Clarke was VC back then though wasn't he? According to Katich and Symonds he had enough influence to finish both their test careers.
They still hold a lot of bitterness towards him.
Symonds finished his own test career by being a booze hound, was lucky to play test cricket in the first place, only Martyn walking away got him a gig.
Katich was a solid opener but he was no Hayden or Langer and even they weren't that great, flat track bullies come to mind.
Clarke is a better and more intelligent cricketer than most of the dopes that got gigs on Ch7/Foxtel, looking forward to seeing more barbs from him.
Katich’s record albeit abbreviated by comparison, is virtually identical to langer’s.
