Clarke: Oz have long way to go

Sydney - Michael Clarke says Australia have a long way to go before supplanting South Africa as the No 1 Test cricket team.

Clarke returned home on Friday after leading the Australians to an epic 2-1 series win over the Proteas in South Africa to cement their status as the second team in world cricket behind South Africa.

Clarke said despite their supremacy over South Africa in the recent series, his side would be foolish to consider themselves the best team in Test cricket and said the job was far from done.
