Australia dominate opening day in Perth

* South Africa dismissed for 242 * Australia 105 without loss * South Africa won toss and elected to bat in Perth PERTH, Nov 3 (Reuters) Australia ripped through South Africa's top order in the first hour, dismissed the tourists for 242 by tea and reached 105 without loss at close on the back of some Dave Warner fireworks on the opening day of the first test today.
Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma scored battling half centuries for South Africa after they were reduced to 32-4 but there was no doubt the standout performers on the first day of the Australian cricketing summer were wearing baggy green caps.
