Michael Clarke will no longer don the ‘baggy green’ after he decided to retire from international cricket after his side’s dismal performance at Trent Bridge.

Clarke during his playing days amassed more than 8,000 runs in Tests and played some gem of an innings. Be it is triple century against India at SCG or his century against South Africa where he played with an injury.

Here are some of the top knocks that brought glory to his name and nation.

1. 161 vs South Africa at Cape Town (2013-14)

2. 329 vs India at SCG (2011-12)
