'Pup' told journalists that he was 'honest' for praise and looks back in his pride Cricket career
“Being able to sit in so many wonderful players, idols, models to follow when I was a child and admire is something I feel honored,” said Clarke.
'Retirement does many things. Through the stages of seeing Cricket now, you miss parts.
