The 33-year-old reached closure on the decision upon realising there was no chance he'd still be leading the side in four years.
Steve Smith is yet to be confirmed as Clarke's successor.
However, that is expected to happen soon given Smith became Australia's third youngest Test captain during summer when Clarke was injured.

Hopefully his ODI career ends on a high!
Provided good service for the country for 12 years.

Yeah, sure you could. You'd simply be a laughing-stock like Ponting in his last seasons, and set the side back in the process.
So yes, correct decision arrived at.
| Quote: | | Sutherland was full of praise for Clarke, calling him one of Australia's "greats" and adding that his decision came as "something of a surprise". |
"something of a surprise" eh Sutho? And around what solar system does the planet you inhabit, actually orbit?
| Quote: | | "Michael leaves one-day cricket on his own terms," Sutherland said." |
Absolutely. Always best to walk the plank, than be pushed in a mutiny.
Please go out with a bang today, and not a whimper.

| ^^^ One badly lost toss, 1 good catch. Jury out - but he has a couple of competent bowlers, there. |

75 from 72 balls and takes the Australians to the brink of victory.
So, in summary, his night got a little better after the toss. |
