Yeah whenever I watch him play I think of your words now, I think when he first started out he wanted to be the next Gilchrist, everyone else wanted it too, I think he tried too hard and took it out on others, tried the tried and true Aussie arrogant style, but it doesn't suit him.

He's got a good mentor in Boof too, another one of the good guys. Him and Broad had a wink and a smile shaking hands at the end of the game, nice to see after their words in the last series, I like banter like that, but Clarke took it too far yesterday by threatening a number 11 with physical harm (without even being able to cause the harm himself).

agreed, they all are. especially warner. they've been trounced consistantly for the last 3/4 years in ashes cricket, yet one win and their acting all billy bollocks. Loved boycott saying, he's only got 3 test centuries and yet he's acting like he's wally hammond.

would love to see england bounce back, it is a team with a lot of character, but that is an abysmal pathetic defeat that has been coming for a good year and a half. Their bowlers have constantly dug them out and got draws in these situations with ball AND bat, but this was one step too far. 136 and 179 on a deck like that? That is Bangladesh style of bad.

I had a bad feeling about this series based on the last one, let's hope that is a kick up the ass, because boy did they need it. Pretty sure Gooch should be coming under scrutiny for all these woeful batting performances, they're all top class batsman as showed by their averages.

Warner and Siddle, bunch of geoff's as Fox would say.

You guys hear the stump mic stuff? Clarke's a big man when he's got his mates with him, he'll be ducking for cover next game, we'll see who gets the "broken f**king arm" then big man.

As for Geroge "What Am I Doing Here" Bailey, I'd have taken a swing at him grinning under that lid, got my blood boiling that did last night, Jimmy should have got sweaty hands and let go of the handle.

Further on about Clarke and his so called nice guy image, a couple of other things spring to mind.

Firstly, nobody in the "old crew" (Warne, Hayden, Ponting, McGrath etc) liked him when he joined the team. Too much with the celebrity girlfriends and fancy cars and not enough hard work. Ponting has come out in his new book and slammed him.

Second, I remember Simon Katich holding him against the wall by his throat for trying to leave the dressing room and ground early, not taking part in singing their song. Funnily, since Clarke is captain, Katich hasn't had a look in despite being the answer they have needed at the top of the order for the last 2 years.

He's a snidey [Poor language removed] alright.

At least Jimmy stood up to it though, siddle's a little phoney hard man, flapped a caught and bowled in case the ball hit him, I actually dont mind Warner, think he's just a bit thick, as for Clarke, I've sung his praises on here as a captain and batsman, but if he's going to come out with shouts like that, then in all honestly someone should flatten him after the game, like beefy chasing chappel round a car park, lets have some of these, too many chinless wimps on our team. If Swann goes out to bat in full body armour again and avoids the short stuff I would drop him, thats so weak, go on swann crack one of your **** jokes now

Clarke likes having plenty of mates around him when he gives out a bit of lip to a guy batting 11, when certain of victory, bit classless that which is a shame as he'd captained his side brilliantly, so to let himself and the whole of australia down at end will leave a sour taste, he's very much become the suarez of cricket here.

I'm not worried, 3-1 win to england, stand on me boys

Oh come on.

He's hardly done a Lawrence Dallaglio, or even blatantly cheated. He's gotten fired up by all the snidey comments coming out of the Butter Wouldn't Melt Camp and he's said something he probably shouldn't have. We've all been there.

You lost. Move on.

I don't mind the bowler saying it to a tailender, his words were innocent compared to the serves Tommo and Lillee and Merv would have dished out in the day. But to come from him, a bleach blonde blue eyed [Poor language removed], near the end of giving England a hiding, was lacking class.
