Australia vs South Africa Boxing Day Test player ratings: Who starred, flopped in huge win

Australia peppered South Africa with bat and ball for four days at the MCG and we have rated every player. Agree? Have your say here.

Australia wins the Boxing Day Test... and the series!

Australia have secured their Test series win against South Africa – a first on home soil in nearly 17 years.

David Warner’s magical double-century set the tone for the dominant victory, while Cameron Green secured a career-first five-wicket haul and Alex Carey a maiden Test century – and Green and Mitchell Starc earned enormous respect for battling on with injuries.

It wasn’t all smooth sailing – Usman Khawaja will rue his early exit as teammates cashed in on a flat MCG wicket.

So who starred in the series-sealing victory? And who will be looking to turn things around at the SCG?
