Michael Clarke's silent bat may be working against him, but Cameron White feels he has no reason to worry.
michael clarke against england
Australia were completely outplayed by England in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 final in Barbados and once again Australia struggled with the top order batting not coming to the party. Although the Australian captain promoted himself to no.3, he was an unconvincing figure in the line up, as he has been throughout the tournament.
However, the man who kept bailing Australia out, in what has become a pattern over the last year or so, Cameron White put aside his own captaincy ambitions to state that Michael Clarke had done a great job as captain, bringing Australia respectability after repeatedly failing in the format on previous occasions.
White himself was widely tipped to take over the captaincy when Ricky Ponting decided to give it up in the Twenty20 format after the defeat in the Ashes, but Cricket Australia decided to appoint Clarke as captain for all three formats.
With the Caribbean defeat now hurting, there are murmurs that perhaps Clarke may be relieved of the Twenty20 format captaincy for one. Clarke himself admitting to "not being up to scratch". Interesting days ahead.
