With injuries impacting two bowlers and favourable batting conditions, one might have expected South Africa to display some resilience. The comfortable win wraps up another series victory for Australia, with just one Test remaining of a disappointingly one-sided summer of cricket."I'd say it's a bit of a hammering, that.
Starc, hampered by a broken finger that will need six weeks in a splint after this Test match, bowled brilliantly throughout his six-over opening spell.However, it was only after he attempted to field a shot played back to him with his injured finger that he really got fired up, snarling at de Bruyn for taking liberties at the non-strikers end when backing up, warning him twice to get back in his ground.
