Great game, had a bit of everything in it: wonderful batting, fast fast bowling, some great catches and stubborn defence. But cometh the hour, cometh the man etc..

David Warner MotM and of the series. No real arguments from me. He is a joy to watch.

Gotta love some spot jinxing

Delighted with that, Harris again showing his class, gonna be a huge loss if he doesnt come back from the surgery.......

To beat the best in their own backyard is something to be very proud of, staking a real claim to be the number 1 Test nation again, been a long time!

Amazing finish to the series today. As someone who's only really starting following cricket since the 2011 world cup I've been been mostly following the sport through limited overs games, love the IPL, big bash, whatever ODI'S Sky Sports has.... but that last session today was fantastic viewing. It seemed like the South Africans were gonna pull out a scarcely believable draw until Harris brought out two perfect deliveries. Great scenes at the end! Such a pity it isn't a 5 match series.

You just don't get that in ODI or T20 cricket. It's been a good winter for test cricket culminating in a great finish today. Cricket's been turned on its head this winter, great teams dismantled with retirements and other stuff. Thanks a lot, Australia.

Great win for Australia, fair play to Ryan Harris - I thought after the Ashes the English batsman had made him look better than he is but I was wrong on it. Really good bowler, a very enjoyable series for the neutral

Harris problem has been his body always breaking down, he is one hell of a bowler, on ability I have him right up there with Steyn. Steyn and his unbelievable fitness and consistency are a thing of wonder though. Hopefully Rhyno comes through his next surgery and can stay effective, at his age though you never know.

As I said before its a great shame his body can't handle all formats as he was an absolute gun in ODI cricket and will nearly certainly miss out on the World Cup in his home country next year:(

Not really sure where the best place is to put this, no need for a new thread for it like. Ryan Harris has said the operation went well and his knee feels like a new one, thats positive and hopefully he will be able to make a full recovery

Edit: just to add, they predict he will be out for about 7 months, he is hoping to be back for Pakistan and still be around for the next Ashes

Bad news for England here it looks like
