Harris bowls SA to victory

South Africa completed victory over Australia by an innings and 20 runs in the third and final Test at Newlands, despite an entertaining maiden Test century from Mitchell Johnson.Johnson hammered 123 not out but it was in a losing cause, as Australia were bowled out for 422, shortly before the scheduled close on the fourth day. Australia had already clinched a series victory by winning the first two Tests. "Obviously, any time you lose it really hurts, but this has been really poor," Ponting said after Australia were condemned to their first innings defeat since India beat them in Calcutta in 1998. "The first two Tests were as good as we have played, while the first two days here were as bad as we have ever played. "It shows if you're not quite there in terms of your best then results are not going to go your way."
