true that.he still has lot in him to offer for Australian cricket.He specially mentioned after the last test that he has no intention to retire.but I guess after having series of failures in past 12 months on his own and after having a such miserable performance in this test and even in the whole series as a team, he had no option but to retire He is a guy who leads from the front.

yeah and also he's 34 years of age, so even if he don't quit now he would have 2,3 years at max. but he was in a great from about 1 1/2 ,2 years ago.

i never found clarke as a good captain, but he was a good test batsman. early in his career he was busy in the crease and tried to score quick runs like in ODIs. he was also a good bowler and good fielder. this shows how competitive cricket is in Aus, Eng, you just can't hang around with lots of failures. anyway kind of dark end to a good cricketer.

mitchel marsh, faulkner can be good choices for captaincy, down the line.

for me personally, he is up there as one of the best captains Australia has ever produced along with Ponting Unlike Ponting Clarke had to go through so many tough situations to build up Australia and ultimately win a World Cup too. He didn't have the likes of Gilly,Mcgra,Warne,Lee in his team. So to win a world cup with a young side with a short period of time goes you to show his class as a captain. winning 5 nill in the Ashes against Eng was pretty special too.So yeah he has been a special captain for Australia, there is no doubt about it, at least for me

Its just that in this series, no of the Australians could handle the swing/seam bowling conditions in England. credit to Englishmen they executed their plans really well and used the conditions perfectly. add salt to the injury, Australian bowlers couldn't help it with equaling to English bowlers.Its one of the worst performances Australia had in their cricket history, there is no doubt about that. When you had such a series of failures, I guess as a captain you have no option but to retire

Yes he is good test batsmen. true that he was a busy player early in his career just like smith is now I guess that goes off slightly when you get older. Yes he has been a quite a good fielder and as a part timer, his bowling was pretty useful too, specially when you consider that he is a SLA. Yeah definitely, this a perfect example of the brand of cricket and the quality of cricket these CA,Eng,SA has. specially Eng and CA, no matter how good a player you are and how legendary you are, if you are not performing its very hard to be in these teams.unfortunately though, unlike Ponting, Clarky still had lot to offer for Australian cricket.Leaving the captaincy would have been fine, but I don't know retiring was the right decision.

But then again you have to move on, and hopefully smith will be a good captain though doesn't seems like he is so far.I doubt the captaincy abilities of Marsh,Faulkner too.I mean it takes a special person to captain Australia.Waugh,Ponting,Clarke all those guys have been characters.may be Warner could be a good choice.you never know.

Yes that is why I personally thinks that stepping down from the captiancy would have been fair enough, but retiring? umm..I don't know.he specially mentioned after the 3rd test that he has no intention what so ever to retire, so this decision is purely because of this defeat and this terrible performance in this 4th test.

Still remember his test debut where he got 151 and that match saving 100 at Adelaide recently and that 329* not out in SCG which was a special inning too.Ironically all those 3 innings came against India.
