Twitter reacts as South Africa wins their first series since readmission

The host South Africa crushed the Australian team to win the third Test by 492 runs at Johannesburg. Meanwhile, this is their first series win against the Aussies since their readmission.

However, Australia failed to recover from their off-field controversies to put up a strong performance. The new opening duo couldn’t replicate the performance of David Warner and Cameron Bancroft as the visitors failed to get off to a good start.

They also received a last-minute blow as Mitchell Starc suffered an injury to get out of the first XI. Further, Australia failed as a unit despite Tim Paine’s desperate efforts.

On the other hand, South Africa put up a brilliant effort and dominated the game. There were a number of notable performers for the Proteas. While Aiden Markram and Faf du Plessis dominated the batting, Vernon Philander did the job with the ball.

However, it was Philander’s magical figure of 6 for 21 that bowled Australia for a mere 119.

The tall and lanky Morne Morkel who announced his retirement after this series also backed Philander claiming two wickets.

However, it will be a sad story for Australia coach Darren Lehmann, who finishes on a losing note. Lehmann announced his retirement in the wake of the ball tampering scandal.
