Australia has wrapped up a comprehensive innings-and-182-run victory over South Africa on the fourth day of the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, winning a home series against the Proteas for the first time since 2006.
The victory was all the more impressive given that Cameron Green was unable to bowl with a broken finger, while Mitch Starc battled through pain, bleeding his way to a wicket and run-out with a damaged digit of his own.
With injuries impacting two bowlers and favourable batting conditions, one might have expected South Africa to display some resilience.
