Australia completed a six-wicket victory within two days in the first Test against South Africa on Sunday as the Proteas crumbled on a green Gabba wicket that played straight into the home bowlers' hands.
Skittled for 152 on day one, the Proteas were routed for 99 shortly after tea on day two, leaving Australia 34 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The highest score in Australia's second innings was in the extras column, with Rabada and Anrich Nortjé sending balls over the wicketkeeper to gift the hosts boundaries.Australia captain Pat Cummins took 5-42 in South Africa's second innings and seven wickets for the match, while paceman Mitchell Starc celebrated his 300th Test wicket with a trademark inswinging yorker that bowled Rassie van der Dussen for a duck before lunch.
“The wicket, everyone's probably saying it's probably too much but it just shows the quality of bowlers that are running around out here out here,” said spinner Nathan Lyon.
