Australia Tests captain Pat Cummins took 2-35 and 5-42 against South Africa

Australia cruised to victory over South Africa within two days of the first Test as 19 wickets fell in the day two match in Brisbane.

Resuming at 145-5, Australia were eliminated for 218, before dismissing South Africa for just 99.

Captain Pat Cummins took 5-42 and Mitchell Starc 2-26 to leave Australia with 34 points to win.

The hosts chased their target in 7.5 overs, despite pace setter Kagiso Rabada’s 4-13 on a green pitch.

It is the first two-day test in Australia for 91 years.

In total, the match went 144.3 overs, making it the eighth-shortest finished game in Test history. It is the second shortest since 1935, behind England’s loss to India in Ahmedabad last year.

Travis Head hit a counter-attack 92 from 96 in Australia’s opening innings with 62 from South African wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne the only other half-century against two high-quality pace attacks.

Proteas skipper Dean Elgar said the pitch did not allow for fair competition between bat and ball.

“It was a challenge for the hitters, no doubt, which is good if it’s a good fight between bat and ball,” the fly-half said.

“But obviously, on the other hand, I don’t see it as a fair contest.”

However, Australian spinner Nathan Lyon said: “Everyone is probably saying it’s probably too much, but it just shows the quality of the bowlers who race here.”
