South Africa secured a Test and series victory in Cape Town after Australia collapsed while chasing a target of 288 runs, BBC News reported. Former Australian batsman David Warner described his former national team as terrible, utterly disgraceful, and un-Australian following the defeat. [1][3]
Australia lost two wickets in the first over of their run chase to South African bowler Kagiso Rabada, according to BBC News. Rabada later dismissed Travis Head, who was caught at slip, to become the fastest bowler in cricket history to reach 350 Test wickets. [1]
BBC News noted that Australian batter Josh Inglis contributed to the collapse after he was run out for four runs. Fox Sports also covered Warner's critical comments regarding the performance of the national team. [1][3]
Warner previously served as the vice-captain of Australia during the third Test match against South Africa at Newlands in Cape Town in March 2018. He received sanctions alongside captain Steve Smith from Cricket Australia following a ball-tampering incident during that fixture. [5]
