Clarke has had one score over 25 in his last 15 innings. In other words, he has failed with the bat 12 (there were a couple of not outs) out of 15 times. I don't get the love for him. He didn't guts it out in India when we needed him to. He left that to Smith. He didn't contribute to the Ashes win bar two innings. That's 2 innings out of 10. He didn't contribute in South Africa bar 1 innings, that's one innings out of six. He even only made 2 scores out of 10 innings in England for the Ashes there. Sure, when he gets in he can make a big score but the fact is that for a senior batsman he doesn't get in often enough and his recent run is nothing short of disgraceful for a supposed leader.
