warne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'aussie bowler' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'wicket confronting english scorer' is the wordplay.
'wicket' becomes 'w'.
'confronting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'english scorer' becomes 'arne' (Thomas Arne, composer of 'Rule Britannia'. I am not sure about the 'english' bit.).
'w'+'arne'='WARNE'

'taking' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for warne that I've seen before include "Shane --, cricketer" , "Publisher" , "34 [CRICKETER]" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
