The first Australian captain to lose the Ashes twice in England. Sack him and give Simon Katich the job until Clarke decides he wants to concentrate on being a cricketer rather than a regular in Australian women's magazines with his soon to be Mrs.
The selectors also deserve a kick up the date. Brad Hodge and Chris Rogers should have been playing. I'm not Victorian so I can't be accused of bias.
Cricket Australia are a bucnh of clowns.

However I dont necessarily agree with your changes to the team.
Clarke will soon be captain unless he has some inexplicable loss of form. Who cares if he's in those mags? One needs a life outside of cricket to stay sane. Not that I really like his life outside of cricket that much, but his potential captaincy shouldn't be judged on his other life.

Sacking Ponting will not make that go away. he is a brilliant player and batsman, and a patriotic Australian, why should he take the blame. ok it had not rained for ten days, even England were not aware that the pitch would be like a three day old pitch on that first day, was he responsible for the exclusion of spinners? yes perhaps it was a little arrogant of the Aussies, but the blame lies across the board, not just with Ponting.
