South Africa 225 and 569 beat Australia 163 and 322 by 309 runs
Australia's expectation of giving a winning farewell to Ricky Ponting were destroyed with South Africa winning the third test in Perth by 309 runs to hold on to their top spot in Tests. Set a massive target of 632 runs to win, Australia lost their first wicket on the second ball of the fourth day, before finally being dismissed for 322 as the Proteas preserved the three-Test series 1-0. The first two Tests both ended in a draw.
Graeme Smith's South Africans became the first team in two decades to defeat Australia on home soil on successive tours, with the West Indies the only other team to complete it, way rear in 1992-93.
