A tearful Michael Clarke has matched Ricky Ponting's record of four Allan Border Medals as Australia's leading cricketer.

The 31-year-old, who won the 2005, 2009 (with Ponting) and 2012 medals, was also named the Test Player of the Year at Monday night's black-tie function at Melbourne's Crown Casino.

The skipper paid tribute to former team-mates Ponting and Michael Hussey and re-enforced his commitment to taking Australia to the top of the rankings in all formats before emotion cut his acceptance speech short.

Watson, also named Australia's T20 Player of the Year, was just 33 votes behind Clarke despite missing 15 matches over the three formats during the voting period because of injury.

Others who received awards were Clint McKay (ODI Player of the Year), Phillip Hughes (Domestic Player of the Year) and Jessica Cameron (Women's International Player of the Year).

Also, McGrath and fast bowler Charlie Turner (1887-1895) were inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame.
