In all honesty, I think Clarke should retire from ODI's, he'd be more useful if he could still bowl but I only see him as shortening his test career by playing this format, he's not really suited to it.
He is probably the most improved Australian player in my era and I fully applaud him for the way he's turned every facet of his game and demeanor around but I think he's being a tad selfish by nominating himself for the short version of the game. I could rattle off 5 better prospects straight off the cuff.

Kane Williamson showing his "sinse of humor".

#MCGsobig I walked out to inspect the pitch yesterday and I still haven't gotten there

Day 2 of quest to inspect pitch: beginning to lose hope. Cannot even see stumps. Grass stretching to the horizon. Supplies running low.

Have not eaten for 24 hrs. Corey desperate. 'We should eat Trent.' Stupid. No meat on that. #MCGsobig #SOS

Tim has lost it. Thinks he is cow. Mooing and eating grass. This is the longest he's gone without seeing his reflection. #MCGsobig

Abandoning mission. Will never reach pitch. Trying to attract help by making fire using Dan's glasses. #thankgodhewenttospecsavers #MCGsobig

Passing plane spotted our distress signal. On our way back to civilisation. Thanks for all your support. #MCGsobig

He might not even get to make the decision.

With the start of a new ODI World Cup cycle, he might find himself out of the plans and they start working on a squad that will be in place for 2019.

With a selection panel that now includes Trevor Hohns who has shown in the past he is prepared to make hard decisions re the one day game and "retire" players in their mid 30s: Taylor and Healy 1997, Steve Waugh and Mark Waugh (now a selector) in 2002. The same might happen to the likes of Clarke, Haddin and Watson in 2015/16.

i expect some renewal in the next 12 months
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Direct from the Australian Coach, world cup planning begins around 24-30 months out from the next tournament. So he might get 1 more summer in yet.

What a game both semis were.

The best exhibition of ODI cricket we'll ever see.

I am still shocked at the reaction of Indian supporters after their loss.

The greater shock was the piss weak run chase by the Indians. Might as well have a crack and get bowled out for 180 rather than piss fart about all night and then nek minnet 100 of 36 balls. Senseless.

This game will be over before it gets dark. What a pea hearted opposition. McCullums three ball innings will have to go down as one of the worst in the history of World Cup finals.

Starc put more wood on the ball than McCullum.

Kiwis making their way back into this game. If Taylor and Elliot are still in when the Power Play starts they will make a competitive total, north of 280 i reckon.
