I've not seen another thread on it, forgive me if there is.
But was Clarke a good captain?
In the build up to the Ryder Cup he seemed to be saying the right things and taking it seriously.
His captain's picks at the time seemed fair enough, Knox was the only real debate but there is always one of those eg Casey in 2010.
However when the week came he did not impress me, dealt with the PJ Willett 'controversy' very poorly, I think the point should've been made that the article was clearly written in jest and was not to be taken seriously.
His biggest failures came with his pairings though I believe, not recognising who was on form and trying to protect his rookies too much, for instance Andy Sullivan deserved another run out I thought.
What are your thoughts?
