South Africa beat Australia in the deciding Test in Cape Town, taking the series in a famous win. Australia were bowled out for just 111 in their second innings while chasing a target on the final day.

The collapse came under pressure during the final-day chase. Australia's batting order fell away quickly as South Africa's bowlers took wickets in clusters. The result was a third Test defeat on the tour.

Former Australia opener David Warner spoke out after the loss. He called the performance "un-Australian" and "disgraceful". Warner's comments were aimed at the current side, led by Pat Cummins, and at how the team batted when under pressure.

The defeat was the third Test in which Australia struggled badly with the bat. Warner's remarks drew attention because he played for Australia for many years before retiring.

It is not yet known what changes Australia's team management or Cummins plan to make after the series. Cricket Australia has not commented on the result.
