Michael Clarke heavy favorite to win Allan Border medal for fifth time

Australian captain Michael Clarke could win Allan Border Medal for an unprecedented fifth time, a recent voting has revealed.

Clarke has been the standout Test batsman in the world during the past year, though he missed half of Australia's one-day matches because of injury, News.com.au reports.

If Clarke wins the medal this time again, he is going to go past Ricky Ponting, who has four, the report added.

Clarke scored 1030 Test runs at 45 with four centuries from the beginning of the voting period on February 1, 2013.
