David Warner scored a double century in the first innings while Alex Carey also scored a century to take their side to a mammoth total.
The hosts then bundled out the opposition on 204 and scripted an easy win with bowlers hitting the right areas.

Aren't competitive
The Big Bash has down the drain, despite being given the primary summer month of January. Visiting Test teams aren't competitive. India might have used up their boom cycle of talent pool. It leaves only the Ashes. What a terrible time to get a new TV deal for cricket!

When the going gets tough, David Warner gets going. A dream 100th Test for him
Proper beating
Any loss by an innings is a proper beating. These guys are bringing our country into disrepute.😭😭

Very pleased
Very pleased with Australia’s crushing victory over South Africa in the Boxing Day Test. I think it’s our first home series win against SA since 2006.
