South Africa coach Jacques Nienaber said he would look for ways to ensure his team are more clinical when they take on Australia on Saturday after slipping to defeat against the Wallabies in Adelaide.
When James Anderson took the wicket of Simon Harmer during South Africa's second innings of the second Test in Manchester on Saturday, he went past Australia legend Glenn McGrath to become the leading wicket-taker in international cricket among pacers. McGrath had 949 wickets across formats in his international career, and Anderson finished the second Test against South Africa with 951, as he also dismissed Kagiso Rabada after Harmer's wicket. Anderson now has 664 wickets in Tests, 269 in ODIs and 18 in T20 Internationals (T20Is).
The tourists were bowled out for 151 and 179 and lost inside three days, which followed their own innings and 12 run win at in the first Test at Lord’s last week. With the deciding fixture at The Oval starting on Sept. 8, there is plenty of time for reflection. "You can go into panic mode when these things happen, but the coach (Mark Boucher) and I are not those types of guys," Elgar said. "We are here to win a Test series and we're still in a position to do that."
Points leader South Africa crashed out in Saturday's group stage of the season-ending World Rugby Sevens Series tournament at Los Angeles, opening the door to the crown for three rivals.
Old Trafford on Saturday. Victory by an innings and 85 runs, with more than two days to spare, brought England level in this three-match series at 1-1, following South Africa almost as dominant innings-and-12-run triumph at Lord's last week. England have won five of their six matches since Stokes succeeded Joe Root as skipper but this one was built on Test-match fundamentals rather than setting up a crowd-pleasing run-chase in the fourth innings. Stokes's men were on top from the start in Manchester, reducing South Africa to 77-5 before lunch on the first day after Proteas skipper Dean Elgar -- almost obliged to bat first having included a second spinner, Simon Harmer, -- won the toss. The Proteas were eventually dismissed for a meagre 151 in their first innings.
England's emphatic victory over South Africa in the second test at Old Trafford has set the "benchmark" for the team, captain Ben Stokes said after they defeated the visitors by an innings and 85 runs within three days.
Embattled All Blacks coach Ian Foster admitted time is running out for his team to start winning consistently after the New Zealanders endured a first-ever home soil loss to Argentina on Saturday to continue their dismal run of form.
So much for a happy Hollywood ending.
