South Africa thrash Australia by 492 runs

Capetown, Apr 03: Australia has fumbled to a 492-run loss in the last Test against South Africa as its batting line-up was decimated by South Africa Star Vernon Philander on day five in Johannesburg.Australia was all out for 119 in pursuit of a fanciful 612 victory target after Vernon Philander bulldozed through their batting line-up on the final morning with six wickets in the space of 32 balls.Philander finished the innings with 6-21 as South Africa nabbed a 3-1 series victory — their first over a touring Australian side since 1970.Although the victory was well and truly out of sight for the Aussies to start day five — they were 524 from the victory target — they were holding onto slim hope of a draw when they started on 3-88.But the rot set in immediately on day five, when Philander had Shaun Marsh caught out off the first ball of the day.
