Australia has failed to win a test for the first time this summer, with South Africa batting out a draw on day five of the final game at the SCG.
After four rain-affected days, including a complete washout of day three, Australia had to take 14 wickets on the final day of the three-test series to complete a 3-0 clean sweep of the Proteas to go with a 2-0 series win over West Indies.
But they could only manage six wickets in the day as South Africa salvaged a modicum of pride from an otherwise sorry series, ending the match 2-106 in their second innings, having been bowled out for 255 earlier in the day.
