Smith ruled out of ongoing Test
South Africa reached 125 for one by the close but also lost their captain, Graeme Smith, for the remainder of the match with a fractured hand, courtesy a Johnson bouncer.
Michael Clarke's 10th Test century helped Australia add a total of 208 runs for the last four wickets to reach an imposing first-innings 445 all out on the second day of the final Test against South Africa in Sydney.
The Australian vice-captain made 138 and batted through the entire morning session with the fast bowler Mitchell Johnson to take Australia from a wobbly 267 for six overnight to a commanding 368 for six at lunch. Johnson was dropped just a run into the day by Jacques Kallis at slip but subsequently displayed faultless shot selection and execution to make 64 from 124 deliveries.
