Delhi: Australia's shameful defeat in the third Test match against South Africa has created a stir in the cricket world. In the match played in Cape Town, the Australian team was all out after scoring just 111 runs in the second innings. With this, South Africa won the match by 176 runs and won the three-match Test series 2-1. Angered by this performance, former Australian opener David Warner has strongly criticized his own team.

David Warner vented his anger on the batsmen

While talking on Fox Cricket during the match, Warner described Australia's batting as very disappointing. He termed the team's performance as 'completely shameful' and 'against the Australian spirit'. Warner believes that the bowlers worked hard throughout the series, but the batsmen failed to support them.

Kangaroo trapped in Simon Harmer's spin

On the last day, Australia had to score 288 runs to win. However, the South African bowlers maintained pressure from the beginning. Kagiso Rabada took three wickets for 39 runs, while Simon Harmer sent six batsmen to the pavilion for only 16 runs.

Harmer broke Australia's back by taking a total of 10 wickets in the match.

Mark Waugh and Brendon Julian also raised questions

Former Australian captain Mark Waugh also expressed his displeasure over the attitude of the batsmen. He called this demonstration irresponsible and very bad. At the same time, former fast bowler Brendan Julian also expressed disappointment over the team's batting.

Australia reached third place in test ranking

After this defeat, Australia has lost its top position in the ICC Test rankings and has reached number three.

Now the team faces difficult matches against New Zealand and India. If the poor performance continues, it may be challenging for Australia to make it to the final of the ICC World Test Championship for the third consecutive time.
