South Africa’s Simon Harmer took a career-best six for 16 as the hosts thumped Australia by 176 runs to clinch their three-test series 2-1 at Newlands on Saturday.
Australia lost Matt Renshaw and Marnus Labuschagne in the opening over and never really recovered. While Pat Cummins’s 90-ball vigil and Nathan Lyon’s unbeaten 33 in the hope of a draw delayed the inevitable, their fate was sealed Simon Harmer bowled Josh Hazlewood just before tea.
Kagiso Rabada took three for 39 as he became the fastest man to 350 Test wickets while Harmer’s ripped the heart out of the tourists.
