Former Australian cricketer Shane Warne has compared Australian retiring skipper Michael Clarke with former great Allan Border, saying that Clarke has the same leadership quality as the latter.

The spinning-bowling legend said that Border was the most meticulous in preparing his game and so was Clarke.

Describing Clarke as a 'fleet-footed' batsman, Warne said that he was a fantastic player of spinners and a flamboyant player, Sport24 reported.

Clarke bid adieu to the international cricket on a winning note after Australia defeated England by an innings and 46 runs at The Oval.

He managed just 132 runs at an average of 16.50 in the Ashes series. Clarke had also scored 8,643 runs in 115 Tests, including 28 hundreds.
