http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Graham-Downton-c44379 Cowan held firm to help the side reach three figures at stumps, without any further loss. At day end, Cowan was unbeaten on 49, and Clarke not out on 34.

Lanky pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/BW-Hilfenhaus-c1204 on Sunday lavished praise on opener Ed Cowan who led Australia’s fight back with an unbeaten 49-run knock in the ongoing Gabba Test against South Africa.
"Ed's in a pretty good space at the moment," Hilfenhaus, who took 2-73, said during a post-day media interaction. "He's obviously seeing the ball pretty well and playing every ball on its merit. That wicket's probably a little slower than normal and he feels
like he can score off those shorter-pitched deliveries. He knows his role in the team and I think he's done that beautifully today," the paceman added further.
After having the Proteas rolled over for 450 soon after tea on day three, the hosts were reeling at 40 for 3 in 9.3 overs, with David Warner (4), Rob Quiney (9) and Ricky Ponting (0) all returning to the pavilion in quick succession. But Ed Cowan and skipper
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978 (34) led Australia’s fight-back adding unbeaten 71 runs for the fourth-wicket stand, to take the side to 111 for 3 at stumps on Sunday.

"We have got to stay hungry," said Sammy on Sunday. "We have definitely improved as a team. We are a bit more consistent and won both the Tests against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 and our mission here is to win all matches in Bangladesh," the St Lucia pace-bowling all-rounder
added further.
