| Clarke retires after the Oval test |
Probably the bravest captain this time, a talented batsman and truly a champion. The world cup winning Michael Clarke will retire after the final Ashes test at the Oval. Its not perfect for an Australian captain, who usually have their final salvo at home. Good luck for the commentary box, a truly golden batsman/captain of our time. The facet which struck out most was his honesty. Always about the team, personal milestones came in at a distant second. His cavalier captaincy gave moments where Australia could even lose the game, but he was prepared to lose in pursuit of victory. however, it will be his frankness that will be missed. Thanks a lot Michael Clarke, that was a brilliant career.
