Rusty or something more? South Africa's concern after Australia loss

South Africa's 12-match unbeaten run came to a shuddering stop with defeat against Australia in Durban, but were they simply rusty or is there more to read into a Test match in which they were outclassed across the five days? The world champions held on until an hour into the afternoon session on the final day – Aiden Markram fought admirably for 237 deliveries – but Australia, led by Josh Hazlewood with career-best figures of 6-49, eventually broke any lingering resistance to go 1-0 up in the three-match series.
