Australia vs South Africa: Proteas show resilience on final day of Sydney Test to deny hosts series sweep

Firstpost  

Australia skipper Pat Cummins enforced the follow-on after bowling South Africa out for 255 but Sarel Erwee and Temba Bavuma held fort to ensure South Africa reached 106/2 before the players shook hands to signal the end of the series. Sydney: South Africa batted out for a draw on the final day of the third Test in Sydney on Sunday, denying Australia a series clean sweep. Australia could only muster two wickets in South Africa’s second innings with skipper Dean Elgar yet again failing along with Heinrich Klaasen. Elgar finished a miserable series with 56 runs from six innings at an average of 9.33, raising yet more questions about his future as South Africa’s Test skipper.
