Legendary cricketing pairs who played their last match together (Post-2000) 

Michael Clarke & Mitchell Johnson (Played Last ODI together)

Clarke & Johnson: Led the batting and bowling attacks respectively during testing times for their country

With both these players in the squad, Australia won two World Cups (2007 and 2015) and the ICC Champions Trophy in 2006 (Australia also won the 2009 Champions Trophy with Johnson in the team, but Clarke had to return home due to injury). They were both establishing their presence in the side when Australia were already World Champions, but soon the champions were up against something unforeseen - a bad run of form and the retirement of its greatest players - Hayden, Gilchrist, Martyn, Symonds, McGrath, Warne, Langer, Gillespie and eventually Ponting as well.

After failing to win the World Cup for the first time after 15 years in 2011, Clarke was made captain. With Ricky Ponting and Brett Lee retiring the next year, Clarke also became the senior batsman and Johnson the senior bowler. Australia's fortunes were revived during the 2013-14 Ashes, when Johnson's 37 wickets and Clarke's 370-odd runs resulted in a 5-0 drubbing of England and an Ashes win after 8 years. The two cricketers finished on a high-note with Australia winning the 2015 World Cup and both playing crucial roles in the big games.

The World Cup final was also the last ODI for both players.
