  • Player of the Match
    Usman Khawaja
  • Player of the Series
    David Warner
Pat Cummins calls his team members as the trophy is handed over to him. That concludes the presentation. The Aussie players pose for the camera. Clean-sweep from Australia. They are certainly in the finals of the World Test Championship, not yet but certainly. That is all from us. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. An action-packed cricketing schedule is lined up. Keep checking the schedule page. Till then, it is goodbye and cheers!
Pat Cummins, the captain of Australia says the wicket was good and hoped for wickets in this match. Adds it was a really good batting surface but his team gave all. Applauds the performance of Lyon. Tells it was pleasing to see everyone contribute with bat and ball. On the tour against India, says they will regroup and are looking forward to it. Reckons he is happy with his performance.
Dean Elgar, the skipper of South Africa says it is never easy to play against the Aussies. Adds the message was to fight till the end. Shares there were learning for many players. Credits to Pat Cummins and his team for how they played. Adds there are many positives from this series. Says Test cricket teaches resilience to wake up the next day and fight again. Tells it was a rollercoaster of a series. Says he is short of runs but hopes to comeback strong.
David Warner wins the PLAYER OF THE SERIES award. The opener says it was a fantastic performance from the whole team but credits the bowler to showcase intent in this match and go for the win. Applauds the performance of Anrich Nortje and how the Proteas played. Shares that they tried their best but South Africa's tail-enders hold on. On the next tour to India, he says it is a massive challenge and they are looking forward to it.
Usman Khawaja wins the Player of the Match. He feels there have been ups and downs in his career, it's been tough at times but rewarding on the other side as well. Says patience was key on this pitch. On missing the double-ton, he says it is about winning and Australia showed it is team first every time. He says South Africa played well, they are a tough team to beat.
...Presentation coming up...
Steven Smith is up for a chat. He says they tried to win but few of the umpire's calls didn't go their way. Feels things could have been different. Shares that he cannot do much about the catches which went upstairs to check. Tells he is happy to score some runs before going to India.
No doubt Australia were the better team with both bat and ball. In the first match at the Gabba, on a tricky pitch, the bowlers made the most of it but it was Travis Head's counterattacking approach which was the difference. At Melbourne, we saw Cameron Green take five wickets but the star of the game was David Warner who scored 200. Fine contributions from Smith, Head and Green and Carey's 100 helped Australia win by an innings. Green and Starc missed out on the last match due to injuries but there was no short of intent from the Aussies.
Australia gave a hefty target and Pat Cummins and co. gave their all from the word go with the ball. South Africa were in a sort of trouble at one stage but contributions from Bavuma, Zondo and later fifty from Keshav Maharaj and a fine knock from Simon Harmer steadied the ship. It was the pace duo of Cummins and Hazlewood who claimed wickets together. Australia with less than 50 overs to play on the final day enforced follow-on, hoping for a miracle and looking for a win but the Proteas batters in their second innings showed great resilient to conclude with a draw.
Rain played a big part in the game or else there was definitely a winner with the tides more often to the host's shore. Australia made a good decision by batting first. Usman Khawaja was the architect of their batting with Marnus Labuschagne, Smith and Head playing hand from the other side. Usman Khawaja though was left stranded on 195 as the rain came in and swiped more than four sessions.
Draw it is! A fair result in the end! We feel the stand between Keshav Maharaj and Simon Harmer concluded this into a draw. However, till the last hour, Australia pushed for the win. The Aussie bowlers gave their all but it was just too big an ask from them. Australia win the series by 2-0.

Nathan Lyon To Heinrich Klaasen
So close but yet so far! Not out it is! Flatter and outside off, spinning in. Klaasen tries to push with hard hands but gets an outside edge to first slip where Steven Smith gets his hands forward and takes it. Australia are celebrating. The umpire asks Klaasen to wait as they take it upstairs. Soft signal is out. The replay rolls in. Takes a long time for the decision. Zoom in, different angles and the third umpire comes up with a conclusion. Not out. He feels, the ball touched the ground. Touch and go.
Is that a clean catch? Steven Smith at first slip had to dive low. The soft-signal is out. BIG SCREEN SHOWS NOT OUT!

HUGE SHOUT FOR LBW! That looks really close. Australia obviously take the review. NOT OUT IT IS! Impact is umpire's call. Talk about millimeters. This one lands outside off and spins in sharply. Klaasen is drawn on the back foot to defend but misses and gets hit on the pads. The ball hits the stumps but the impact saves Klaasen. Australia almost had an opening.

We are back. Do Australia have in them to get a win from here? Let's find out. Nathan Lyon to bowl...
...Day 5, Final Session...
South Africa have weathered the storm pretty well. The pitch is getting better to bat on. Australia need more than enough to extract a win now we feel. Heinrich Klaasen and Sarel Erwee have done well to calm things down and score runs when given any free balls. Around 30 overs remaining now. Australia need 9 wickets to win. The session saw The Aussie bowlers first clean up the tail. They enforced the follow-on and Pat Cummins again got his man, Elgar down the leg side. However, South Africa are looking comfortable but don't take this Australian team lightly. They need a couple of deliveries to turn the tides back. Stay tuned for the final session of this match.
