Injured Clarke fears his career could be over
Adelaide, Dec 13: Ruling himself out of the next three Test matches against India, Australian captain Michael Clarke, who limped off the Adelaide Oval Saturday midway through day five of the first Test, has conceded that "there's a chance I could never play again". Clarke's disappointing news took the gloss off a remarkable Australian victory in the first Test at the Adelaide Oval, as he spoke post match of the injury problem after earlier having scans on the troublesome right hamstring. "The scans are not great. They've certainly shown a tear there - the experts are looking at the moment. I can pretty confidently say that I won't take part in this Test series unfortunately, and then I'll wait on the experts' advice and opinions on what I need to do to get back out on the park," Clarke was quoted as saying by cricket.co.au Friday. "I don't know exactly how long I'm going to be out for. There's a chance I could never play again - I hope that's not the case and I'll be doing everything in my power to get back out on the park, but I think I've got to be realistic as well."
