| Cricket-Two years on, Clarke still has the stomach for the fight Monday, Apr 01, 2013 11:30 PM PDT By Nick Mulvenney SYDNEY, April 2 (Reuters) - Australian cricketing prospects have rarely looked bleaker than when Michael Clarke took over the test captaincy after the last Ashes series but only an out-and-out optimist would declare the outlook that much brighter two years on.
