Clarke rues "horrible" day against South Africa

Australia captain Michael Clarke has rued his side's "horrible" display as they were bowled out for 47 on day two of their first Test against South Africa in Cape Town.

The total was the Green and Gold's fourth-ever lowest Test score and their most meagre return in Test cricket for 109 years.

"I've never had a day like this in my career and I hope I never will again," said Clarke. "Our shot selection was horrible and South Africa bowled well, but we shouldn't have been all out for 47."

South Africa, who are chasing a score of 236, ended the day on 81-1.
