He's similar to Mark Waugh in a lot of ways, except Waugh a) was a much better, natural strokeplayer, b) was much better at getting quick singles if he wasn't timing the ball well, and c) learnt how not to throw his wicket away in time. Since he came on the scene, many compared Clarke to Waugh, but by comparison he's been a myth. Waugh's coming of age was the 230-odd run partnership with Steve in the deciding Test in the 1995 series in the West Indies, which Australia won and became the number 1 team in the world. It lifted him from being a talented batsmen with a temperament problem to being a genuine top order star. Clarke has had some innings which looked like similar defining moments, but he hasn't pushed on with it. If the selectors had any balls at all they would drop him. [/QUOTE]
