I'm not ready for ODIs yet: Clarke

Michael Clarke passed the latest milestone set for him by Cricket Australia's medical staff on Thursday but the skipper says he's not yet ready to play a one-day international.

Clarke said he had been set a target of fielding a minimum of 25 overs for a Cricket Australia XI in Thursday's unofficial warm-up match against a Bangladeshi XI. 

In fact, he was on the ground for 32 overs – more than two hours – before coming off, and bowled two overs of left-arm off-spin.

Quick Single: Clarke does it all in warm-up match

"The ideal world was to field for at least half the game … I managed 32 overs which was nice," said Clarke after his innings of 34.

"The body feels good, I just got a bit more treatment now but I pulled up pretty well."

Clarke's official deadline to prove his fitness remains Australia's second World Cup pool match, against Bangladesh on February 21 at the Gabba.

He looks to be well on track to meet that target after proving his fitness by batting, fielding and even bowling two tidy overs that allowed six runs at Allan Border Field.

"I've been bowling for the past three weeks in the nets," said Clarke.

"The (CA XI) skipper (Ashton Turner) needed a couple of overs so he asked if I was happy to bowl and I was certainly happy to bowl a couple of overs there.

"Then to have a bat as well - it was another step forward.

"My opinion, I think there's probably still a gap between where I am now and playing a one-day international for Australia.

"The fortunate thing is I've got plenty of time to close that gap."

Clarke's 34 came in a 47-minute stay at the crease before he fell to the leg-spin of Sabbir Rahman, edging behind. It followed his half-century for Wests in NSW grade cricket, during which he batted for more than three hours.

"I would have liked a few more runs," said Clarke, who flies to Adelaide on Friday as Australia's World Cup squad assembles ahead of Sunday's first official warm-up match against India at the Adelaide Oval.

"At this stage I don't think I'm playing that match (against India)," said Clarke.

"The plan is for me to join the boys in Adelaide, fly with the boys to Melbourne then play the practice match against the UAE (at the MCG on Wednesday)."

Clarke's match activity will be governed by Cricket Australia's Bupa Support Team, led by physio Alex Kountouris and Dr Peter Brukner.

Asked what more the medical staff expected of him, Clarke replied with a wry smile: "They probably would have liked a hundred today, probably would have liked me to field for the whole 50 overs as well."

Clarke left the dressing room early to get more treatment as Turner led the CA XI to a comfortable six-wicket victory against the Bangladeshis.

Turner had turned to Clarke for plenty of advice during the Bangladesh innings, taking 4-30 himself while NSW rookie Harry Conway also took two wickets.

Turner then hit an unbeaten 71 as the CA XI won with more than eight overs to spare.
