There are a lot of reasons to support Clarke: Chappell

Melbourne: Highly impressed with Australian stand-in-skipper Michael Clarke`s captaincy, the national selector Greg Chappell said that the selection panel was thrilled with his leadership qualities.

"The selection panel I can speak for -- we`ve been delighted with his leadership," Chappell said.

"His captaincy in the first three games has been excellent. His strategies, bowling changes, everything that he`s done -- not least winning matches -- has been good, and I`m sure that will only be good for him," the former Indian cricket team coach told a newspaper.

Under the able leadership of 29-year-old Clarke, the Aussies have managed to draw a favourable result with a 3-0 lead in the ongoing seven-match ODI series against England.

The Kangaroos are now just a victory away from sealing the series, which is quite significant keeping in view the dismal show put up by them during the 3-1 Ashes loss.
