Scorecard

The first Test between Australia and South Africa was won by Australia on the first two days.

Australia was dismissed for just 99 after being dismissed for 218 on the first day.

Australia needed 34 runs to win after Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc took 5 and 2, respectively.

The hosts were able to get their target in 7.5 overs despite Rabada's 4-13.

The last two-day Test in Australia was in 1923.

The match was the eighth shortest completed match in Test history. It's the second shortest since 1935, behind England's loss to India.

The only other half-century against two high-quality pace attacks was hit by Kyle Verreynne, who made 62 for South Africa.

The pitch didn't allow a fair contest between bat and ball, according to the captain.

The opener said that it was a good contest between bat and ball and that it was challenging for the batters.

I don't think it's a fair contest.

Nathan Lyon said that it shows the quality of bowlers that are running around out here.
