As a batsman who had enormous ability and ambition, Michael Clarke emerged in Australia's golden years, was with them through the troughs that followed, and eventually led them back to the No.1 Test ranking.

He was an inspirational leader and an architect of some of Australia's famous wins.

He was a prolific scorer in the Ashes throughout his career. Out of the seven Ashes series he played, he scored more than 350 runs in five of those (2005 and 2015 being the exceptions). He scored 2241 runs at an average of 40.75 against England.

His stats and average dipped in his last 15 Ashes innings where he couldn’t manage to get a single 50+ score. After a series of injuries, poor form and a disastrous Ashes in England in 2015, Clarke bowed out with a win at The Oval.
