Proteas Rewrite Cricket History Books With Aussie Win

A drama-filled four-Test tour was won by the Proteas 3-1 with a crushing 492-run win in the final match in Johannesburg, handing them their first series victory at home against Australia since 1969/70!

A ball-tampering scandal during the third Test in Cape Town saw former Australia captain Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft, suspended, while coach Darren Lehmann quit in the aftermath. And on South Africa's side, fast bowler Kagiso Rabada's shoulder contact with Steve Smith at Newlands saw him fighting a test match suspension which he won, while batsman and wicketkeeper Quinton De Kock's choice words exchanged with former Aussie vice captain David Warner also received some media attention.
