SYDNEY, Jan 1: Stuart Clark says he is still “green” in terms of Test cricket despite being ranked as the world’s best fast bowler.

Following the Boxing Day Test against India Clark jumped to No 2 on the ICC’s Test bowling rankings, trailing only Muttiah Muralitharan.

Clark enjoyed a boost after collecting match figures of 5 for 48 against India and he now sits ahead of Makhaya Ntini and Brett Lee at the top of the fast-bowling list. It has been a rapid rise for Clark, who has only played 12 Tests and has 59 wickets at 19.33.

“It really doesn’t sit comfortably,” Clark said. “OK, those rankings are great, but I’m still learning.”—Agencies
