Though Clarke spoke positively about recovering from his latest flare-up in time to take part in the latter stages of the seven-match limited overs tour of India, Nielsen said he was more concerned about ensuring Clarke was fit enough to last the Australian summer and beyond, even if it meant not re-joining the squad until the first Test against the West Indies West Indies, archipelago, between North and South America, curving c.2,500 mi (4,020 km) from Florida to the coast of Venezuela and separating the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico from the Atlantic Ocean. at Brisbane in November. "The issues are with discs and things with his back, so I'm not sure they're ever going to be 100 per cent perfect," The Age quoted Nielsen, as saying soon after the team's arrival here for the seven one-day match series against India, the first of which will take place on October 25 in Vadodara. "He'll have to manage it and he basically gets daily treatment on his back and his body when he's away and playing and travelling, as do most of the blokes. So, I don't think we can ever guarantee if he comes back saying he's fit now that he's not going to be sore or have flare-ups in the future again," Nielsen said. "It's important Michael is Michael I, Byzantine emperor Michael I (Michael Rangabe), d. c.845, Byzantine emperor (811–13), son-in-law of Nicephorus I.

So there's no point bringing him back half-baked and hoping we can nurse him through, because there's nothing surer that it'd be a recipe for disaster for him," he added. Clarke's latest bout of back problems in South Africa South Africa, Afrikaans Suid-Afrika, officially Republic of South Africa, republic (2005 est. pop. 44,344,000), 471,442 sq mi (1,221,037 sq km), S Africa. was put down largely to the amount of cricket and travel the Australian team had undertaken over the previous 12 months, but the schedule is not likely to be much less taxing in the future for the 28-year-old.
