Clarke's crack at ODI captaincy costs Aussies cash

5/07/2008 10:27:00 PM.  | 
Michael Clarke's first game as Australian one-day captain has also been a costly one with the stand-in skipper fined 10 per cent of his match fee for slow over rates.
   
Match referee Roshan Mahanama has ruled Clarke's team was one over short of its target while bowling in the fourth one-day international against the West Indies at Warner Park in St Kitts.
   
Australian players were all fined five per cent of their match fees with Clarke, as captain, penalised double that amount.
   
The match was Clarke's first one-day international in charge of the Australian team with Ricky Ponting absent with a wrist injury.
   
Australia won by one run to lead the five-match series 4-0.
