"A good game to clone" is pretty vague. Personally I would think it depends on what mechanics you want to practice. Cloning Mario is extremely different from cloning Pokemon or Zelda.
I haven't been in a similar situation myself so I can't say anything from experience, but if I were you I would consider which type of gameplay you feel like coding, and then just pick a game that uses that mechanic and has plenty of its sprites ripped. Like if you want to make a sidescroller do Mario, for a fighter do Street Fighter, etc.
