We have to eliminate Australia's tail a lot quicker: Faf du Plessis

Warner was not the only Australia player punished by the ICC following their tempestuous 118-run victory in Durban.

Instead Warner accepted his level-two charge of bringing the game into disrepute and was hit with a fine of 75% of his match fee and three demerit points. The Australian offspinner, Nathan Lyon was fined 15 percent of his match fee and handed one demerit point after dropping the ball next to the dismissed batsman, who was sprawled on the ground.

Rabada finished on 17 off 14 balls, which included four boundaries, while Elgar remained undefeated on 11 off 37 deliveries, which included two boundaries.

Warner admitted he let his emotions take over after confronting the Proteas wicketkeeper/batsman as the players walked up a narrow staircase to the dressing rooms during the tea interval on Sunday.

That's from someone who did not "look [match referee Jeff Crowe] in the eye and say" what he had said because he declined a hearing where such details would have had to be disclosed.

"It's always the same - the players pay the penalty for the stupidity of those above".

The ICC stopped just short of banning Warner for the match that starts in Port Elizabeth on Friday. His victims included the prize wicket of David Warner for 63.

With the Australian captain on his way and Mitchell Marsh unwell, Paine was next to the crease.

But that would do a disservice to South Africa's bowlers and would also ignore just how hard were the conditions in which Australia had to bat. "There are quite a bit of learning opportunities for us to take going forward", South Africa captain Faf du Plessis said.

Under-siege opener Warner must have been greatly tempted to take out his anger on the Proteas' attack and flay them in old-school Warner style.

"I play with aggression on the field and I try not to cross that line and it has been in the past that I have sort of been fiery".

There is too much agro in the world now and we are seeing it on our highways and streets in alleged road rage incidents as well. "I've struggled to get a word out of him on the field", said the skipper. That's how I play my cricket; I live by the sword and die by the sword. We just feel that the umpires are there to do a job and they must do their job. It becomes unfortunate when everybody else hears stuff and the match officials say they haven't heard anything.

Australia captain Steve Smith raised eyebrows at the toss with his decision to bat in what were clearly bowling conditions, but stated that if the batsmen could get through the first hour a big first innings score is on the cards. Cummins also edged behind and Starc was clean bowled, with Rabada aiming a comment at the Australian as he went on his way.

"I don't have an issue with chirping not at all, I think chirping is good for the game, it's just what you say is where we talk about that line".
