Clark and Warne neck and neck
If the betting for top Australia batsman looks cut and dried, the same cannot be said for the race to be Australia's leading wicket-taker with Shane Warne and Stuart Clark neck and neck with 21 wickets apiece

If the betting for top Australia batsman looks cut and dried, the same cannot be said for the race to be Australia's leading wicket-taker with Shane Warne and Stuart Clark neck and neck with 21 wickets apiece.
Warne is, of course, the favourite, at 2/5 (1.40) but that just means that Clark is, still, the value, to come out on top at 7/4 (2.75).
Clark has been a revelation throughout the series and deserves to be labelled as the new Glenn McGrath thanks to his nagging line and length and a little extra pace.
McGrath, who has 15 wickets and is playing his last Test, is 28/1 while Brett Lee, who has 14, is 40/1.
