Clark says goodbye to Yorkshire

Yorkshire's Australian first-team coach Wayne Clark has left the club by mutual consent after two years.

Clark took over at Headingley after Martyn Moxon's surprise decision to move to Durham in January 2001, and met with immediate success as the club won the County Championship.

However, riches turned to rags for Clark last season when Yorkshire finished bottom of the First Division. Clark is understood to have turned down the position of bowling coach.

Clark still had a year of his contract to run, and club president Robin Smith told the Yorkshire Post that he was in touch with Clark's lawyers to work out the terms of his departure.

Kevin Sharp is expected to be appointed full-time batting coach, while Arnie Sidebottom is likely to be become bowling coach.
