#2 Keshav Maharaj turns it on the Aussies

South Africa v Australia - 1st Test: Day 1
Maharaj picked up two in two

With pace and reverse swing hogging the headlines, Keshav Maharaj turned up on day 4 and stamped his presence with two wickets in two balls to seal Australia's fate.

The left-arm spinner came in after Australia had lost Cameron Bancroft to a splendid piece of fielding from Faf du Plessis and David Warner nicked Kagiso Rabada to AB de Villiers. He prised out Usman Khawaja, who has been woeful this series, with a sharply turning ball and then proceeded to remove Shaun Marsh next ball to pile on the agony. From 57/0, Australia collapsed to 59/4, further damaging their reputation on a day it all came apart.
