Australia skipper Michael Clarke made a successful return from injury in Brisbane today, but the news was not as good for Bangladesh which failed to topple a Cricket Australia XI.
Clarke, who is in a race against time to return from hamstring surgery to head up Australia’s ICC Cricket World Cup campaign, scored 34 runs off 36 balls in the warm-up match at Allan Border Field while also bowling two overs and taking a great grab in slips.
Batting first, Bangladesh was in trouble early after losing star Shakib Al Hasan, who was caught by Clarke in slips.
It fell to 5-57 before a partnership between Mohammad Mahmudullah and Sabbir Rahman helped them post a decent total of 193.
The CA XI chased the total with eight overs in hand for the loss of six wickets.
The leg-spin of Rahman ended Clarke’s innings, while Al-Amin Hossain, Mahmudullah and Soumya Sarkar also picked up wickets.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.

Good to see Clarke returning to fitness. It has been quite an ongoing for him with his back/hamstring issues. Australia has an interesting predicament, who will captain Australia out of form Bailey (who has a very good record in ODIs) the in form Smith or the returning Clarke?

Heard on the news today that Michael Clarke may just be fit to play the first WC match - AUS v ENG, even though he has until Feb 21st to return fit depending on what the medical staff say. Good news for AUS !!
