Today isn't Haq's last

Defiant Pakistan captain Misbahul Haq refuses to accept that Friday's World Cup quarterfinal against Australia could be his last one-day international.

"Obviously this World Cup and my career are still not over," said Misbah.

The 40-year-old has already announced his intention to retire from one-day cricket after the World Cup as has star all-rounder Shahid Afridi.

"We would really like to go further in this tournament and will try our best to win Friday's match and that's what the desire and dream is, so let's see. I want to play good cricket and put in my best performance."

Meanwhile, Australia captain Michael Clarke has declared he has no intention of retiring from one-day cricket after the World Cup.

Clarke has long suffered a back condition and in recent months battled a succession of hamstring injuries that have prompted calls for the 33-year-old to retire from the shorter format to prolong his career in Test cricket.

Clarke poured cold water on the idea on the eve of Australia's quarterfinal against Pakistan in Adelaide.

"And I have managed to play over 200 one-dayers and over 100 Test matches so it hasn't stopped me to date. And I don't think it will do after this series either."
