The hosts produced the most polished performance of Clarke's brief captaincy reign at the Sydney Cricket Ground, recording an emphatic victory by an innings and 68 runs late on the fourth day. "We want to win the series, simple as that," said Clarke, whose unbeaten 329 formed the backbone of his side's victory. Meanwhile, a superb all-round performance by Jacques Kallis carried South Africa to a series-clinching 10-wicket win over Sri Lanka on the fourth day of the third and final Test at Newlands. Having scored 224 in the South African first innings, Kallis claimed 3 for 35 to end an obdurate Sri Lankan second innings on 342, leaving the hosts with a nominal target of two runs to win, sealing the series 2-1.
