He's playing on the edge here.

He needs to be careful, he showed the same to an extent against India earlier this year (extravagant leaves, loud calling, chat) and he admitted post series he allowed his desire to win affect his behaviour.

What I don't like about it is that it looks like they're getting into his head and he could make an error due to not being "mind on".

It's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.

I really like Steve... But just play cricket. Your the captain. Pull your head in.

Ponting could lose to Antartica. And he’d still be a better captain. Clarke should never havE been our captain.
