Clarke: Everyone is 100 per cent fit
On the eve of their World Cup quarterfinal showdown with Pakistan, Australia captain Michael Clarke has insisted that everyone in their squad is fit and ready to do battle in Adelaide on Friday.
The co-hosts have suffered various injuries during their World Cup campaign with fast bowler Pat Cummins, allrounder James Faulkner and Clarke himself sitting out at different stages of the tournament.
As the business end of the competition is now upon them, Clarke said it is up to the selectors to choose the team that is best suited the conditions.
Clarke said: "Everyone is 100 per cent fit and available for selection so that is a real positive for us and obviously a good problem to have for selectors.
"It's more for the selectors to be 100 per cent sure, confirm what they think in regards to looking at the pitch and make their decision.
"All 15 players are 100 per cent [fit] and prepared, if they are given the opportunity."
