Michael Clarke has been a great servant to Australian cricket. Under his defining leadership, the Aussies have breathed a new lease of life. Clarke, in several ways has redefined the true essence of aggression. His contribution to the sport in Australia is undoubtedly beyond words. It was under his leadership, that the likes of David Warner, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell flourished immensely. All these individuals, along with Clarke himself, played a key role in Australia’s 2015 World Cup winning campaign. With just one test left in his international career, Clarke is due to bid adieu to the game. He will definitely be missed on the international scene. People on Twitter paid great tributes to Clarke, who shall play his last test at the KIA Oval. Below, are some of the Twitter reactions to Michael Clarke’s retirement from test cricket.
