Michael Clarke’s ODI captaincy.

Interestingly when he was leading (when Ponting was either injured or resting) that time his success rate was 83.33% (24/20).

However that slipped drastically since he became Australia’s official captain (after 2011WC). His success rate is merely 57.77% (45-26) – see below table:

George Bailey’s ODI captaincy.

As we see the last few series, there is clear pattern of supremacy in his captaincy. They lost the tri series finals in Zimbabwe due to bad start and almost fought back to win- same would have happened against England in the finals but excellent support from Maxwell/Marsh and then Faulkner!.
