The hilariously named Killara Bingles cricket club have made an online plea via Facebook in an audacious attempt to lure Clarke into playing some Sydney club cricket.
“We write to you in the wake of your recent retirement from test cricket with a proposal,” the brilliant open letter starts.
“A proposal that beats a potential stint with the IPL, that beats a dabble in commentary with Ian Healy and the boys, and marginally beats spending sunny Summer Saturday's at home with your smoking hot wife and soon to be new family.
“We are writing in the hope that you will consider the Killara Bingles Cricket Club for your final hoorah in the world of cricket.”
The club admit they can’t offer a lot in terms of financial remuneration but promise “a green demon for every 5 runs you score” and “some fresh sliced watermelon between innings to keep you sprightly.”
As for the club name “The Bingles” say they’re open to new suggestions considering Clarke’s high-profile relationship with the team’s namesake.
“We apologise if this causes any offence, we were young, dumb and full of runs when we came up with it and will be all ears for any suggested name change that you come up with.
“Suitable replacements that we have come up with include the St Ivan Milats, the the Kuringai Sebastians, the Pymble Cosbys, the Waitara Reids or the Hornsby Yoncès.”
