MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Captain Michael Clarke was frank about Australia's struggles to read the spin off the slow Dubai wicket but declined to criticise his team mates after his second dismissal to slow bowling in the first test against Pakistan.

Reduced to 59 for four wickets at the close of day four on Saturday after being set 438 to win, Australia are staring at a demoralising defeat at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in the first of the two-test series.
