Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
appreciation it deserved. It didn't come as a surprise when he was called for chucking during the 1977-78
West Indies tour - he had encountered these doubts right from grade cricket but the dearth of fast
bowling resources saw him getting fast-tracked into the international arena. Of course he was never
called for throwing till that infamous series. That trip to the Caribbean is etched in folklore due to sporadic
allegations of chucking that were levelled against him and Bruce Yardley. It triggered a mass outrage
and the umpire who no balled the latter was removed for the final Test of the series. This added more
fuel to an already blazing topic.
While Clark's playing career was cut short by form woes and throwing controversies, he did enjoy
success during the brief period that he played for Australia. He was also a prominent man in Western
Australia's pace unit till he hung up his boots in 1984-85. After his playing days, Clark took to coaching
and this was a role where he experienced tremendous success. One of his iconic achievements was to
guide Yorkshire to a County Championship title in 2001, a feat that remains special both for him and the
club as that had come after almost three decades. Clark also coached Western Australia and
subsequently, took up offers in television commentary.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A controversial bowler and successful coach, Wayne Clark was suspected of throwing during his career but Australia were so short of pace bowling during the early Packer years that he played in 10 Tests - successfully too, taking 44 wickets at 28.72. Although he never took five wickets in an innings, he picked up four seven times, including five in the 1977-78 series against India and in both innings at Georgetown later that season. He coached Yorkshire to the County Championship title in 2001, their first since 1968, before moving home to coach Western Australia. He held that position until stepping aside at the end of 2006-07, when he moved into an occasional television commentary role.
