Australia fight back

Australian captain Michael Clarke hit an aggressive half-century as his team fought back after a poor start on the first day of the first Test against South Africa at Newlands here on Wednesday.

Australia were 143 for four at tea with Clarke on 74 not out. They crashed to 40 for three after being sent in to bat before Clarke was the dominant partner in a fourth wicket stand of 103 with Shaun Marsh (44). AFP
