South Africa clinches series with emphatic 勝利,勝つ in 2nd 実験(する)

HOBART, Australia (AP) ― South Africa clinched its three-実験(する) series in Australia with a match to spare on Tuesday, leaving Steve Smith's team 直面するing the prospect of an 前例のない sweep on home 国/地域 after yet another woeful batting 業績/成果.

With the 177-run 勝利,勝つ in Perth and the innings and 80-run victory in Hobart, South Africa 安全な・保証するd its third 連続した 実験(する) series 勝利,勝つ in Australia ― に引き続いて victories in 2008-09 and 2012-13 ― and 手渡すd Smith a fifth straight 実験(する) 敗北・負かす as Australia captain.

The Australians were 階級d No. 1 until 存在 swept 3-0 in Sri Lanka in July. South Africa entered the series without inspirational captain A.B. de Villiers, was 階級d No. 5 and lost strike bowler Dale Steyn 早期に in the 開始 match in Perth.

Yet it's the Australians who are in 混乱.

Selectors are 緊急発進するing to 組み立てる/集結する a team that can bat for a day in time for the third 実験(する), a day-night match which starts Nov. 24 in Adelaide. It's only the second day-night 実験(する) ever played in Australia, 12 months after a low-得点する/非難する/20ing 勝利,勝つ over New Zealand in the first. It also 現在のs the South African pacemen with an ideal chance to 偉業/利用する the brittle batting 顔触れ that has been exposed in this series with 崩壊(する)s of 10-86 in Perth, 85 all out on the 開始 day in Hobart, and 8-32 on Tuesday.

Australia has never been swept in a 実験(する) series on home 国/地域, and is in 墓/厳粛/彫る/重大な danger of ending that streak.

"That's the 使節団 for us now, we want to do that very 不正に," said Faf du Plessis, who was standing in for de Villers as captain. "We won't just 残り/休憩(する) on our laurels. We've got Australia in a position where they're under 圧力 and won't let that go.

"It's hard enough to get them in this position, so we'll do everything we can to keep them there."

The Australians 再開するd on day four of the second 実験(する) at 121 for two, still needing 120 more to make South Africa bat again.

Usman Khawaja 最高の,を越す-得点する/非難する/20d with 64 but was out swiping at a ball from Kyle Abbott and 辛勝する/優位ing behind, 誘発する/引き起こすing the staggering 崩壊(する). Austr alia 低迷d from 129-2 to all out for 166 before lunch.

Abbott, who was called up to 取って代わる Steyn for the second 実験(する), returned 6-77 and Kagiso Rabada, playing his 10th 実験(する) and already showing 約束 井戸/弁護士席 beyond his experience, had 4-34 in 条件s that were good but not unnaturally advantageous for swing or seam movement.

It was almost a repeat of day one, when South Africa sent Australia in to bat and had the hosts 8-4 before Smith's unbeaten 48 helped the home team 辛うじて 避ける some unwanted 記録,記録的な/記録するs. The South Africans replied with 326, with Quinton de Kock 得点する/非難する/20ing 104 and 株ing a 144-run 共同 with Temba Bavuma (74), to 始める,決める up a 241-run lead.

It was all over in 19.2 overs on day four. With rain 妨げるing any play on Sunday, and other disruptions for にわか雨s or bad light, the Hobart 実験(する) was decided inside only seven 開会/開廷/会期s.

"We've got to find a way to be a bit more resilient and turn things around because we're not in a 広大な/多数の/重要な place. Whether it's seaming, swinging or spinning we're having some trouble," Smith said. "We've lost five 連続した 実験(する) matches ― that's not good enough for an Australian team.

"We need to find a way to have a bit more fight and hunger, and a bit more pride."

Australia's worst 最近の run was around the tumultuous end to South African Mickey Arthur's 任期 as Australia coach, when it was swept 4-0 in India and the team was riddled with acrimony. Darren Lehmann took over at the start of the 2013 Ashes series and lost the first two 実験(する)s in England before the losing streak ended at six ― with a draw.

Since then, the Australians have been 再構築するing but 割れ目s have appeared recently, and South Africa had the 権利 成分s to 偉業/利用する them. Now the whole 始める,決める up , from Lehmann to the 最高の,を越す 行政官/管理者s, is under 圧力.

"It's definitely 態度. It's an 積極的な 態度 that makes sure you're always in the 対立's 直面するs," du Plessis explained of South Africa's approach to the series. "If you want to (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域 Australia, you have to play that sort of game. I think we did that better than them."
