I also think the only reason he improved your performance is because you didn't have Monas at 9, I think you would have dropped in intensity if he'd been replaced my Higham.'"
For the avoidance of doubt I am not advocating him for international honours. I just believe that the selectors do not have Clarke anywhere near in mind for the internationals and the argument that he has not played enough as the reason for his omission does not hold water. He is just not good enough.
If we must insist on accomodating Clarke, and it appears we must, we should now learn that it should not be at the expense of moving Monagham from #9.
