A tall and lanky medium fast bowler, he has been branded as a replacement to Glenn McGrath by many international experts. In his debut Test series at the age of 30, against South Africa, where he replaced McGrath who was home with his sick wife, he bagged 20 wickets at 15.75 and won the Man of the Series award. His home debut was equally impressive as he picked up 26 wickets at 17 in the 2006 Ashes to show that Australia need not be worried with Warne and McGrath retiring at the end of the series. Even though he was very good in the long form of the game, he was dropped from the one-day team during the ensuing CB Series and also the 2007 world cup team as his economy was considered a bit too high. He later replaced the injured Brett Lee in the world cup winning squad. Clark gained a Cricket Australia contract after a 45-wicket season in 2001-02 before losing out due to ankle and rib injuries. However, in 2004-05, he got 40 breakthroughs to again make an impression on the selectors. He is a former real-estate agent from Sydney and nowadays crams in study-time in between cricket for a Masters degree in commerce, and after he finishes his current degree, Clark wants to further study law and plans to work in finance.
