Value still with Clark

Shane Warne may be dominating the headlines as his 700th Test wicket approaches, but those of you who followed the advice to back Stuart Clark to be Australia's top wicket-taker in the series will be quietly confident right now.

Warne remains odds-on, at 4/6 (1.66) to finish on top, but he is still two wickets behind Clark, who has been a revelation with his nagging line and length. With a little extra pace to Glenn McGrath, he is difficult to get away and his consistency suggests he will take wickets in both Melbourne and Sydney.

Yet you can still get 11/5 (3.20) on him to finish on top, which has to be good value at this stage, particularly as Warne has bowled an awful lot in the last couple of matches.

McGrath showed his class in the third Test at Perth and is just one behind Warne but he has been slightly eclipsed by Clark and is rated as a 9/2 (5.50) chance by Bet365.

Brett Lee, who has bowled well for only eight wickets so far in the series, is out to 20/1 (21.00).
