Having now found out how serious things were, I think Clarke made the right call here.
If confronted with the choice of missing a few games in a series to spend some time with your partner and a close relative of their's in their last day's; I think missing the games is understandable.

MICHAEL Clarke last night confirmed he would be available for the second Test in the West Indies after helping his fiancee Lara Bingle grieve for the loss of her father.
Clarke yesterday attended the Sydney funeral of Graham Bingle, who died last weekend from pancreatic cancer.
