4.55 pm The Test has come to an end. Clarke has agreed to call it off with 11 overs remaining. It's been drawn and you'd have to say Australia had the better of it ever since the second day was washed out completely. South Africa won't be too disappointed either, especially after they lost Duminy to injury on the first day before he could play any sort of role in this game. The pitch seemed to be on the flatter side, but had one day not been lost to rain, there could have been a result.
The Man of the Match is the double-centurion Michael Clarke, who said Australia will take plenty of momentum from this performance to the Adelaide Test, which is a whole week away.
There will be lots of analysis from Firdose Moonda and Brydon Coverdale up on the site over the new couple of hours. Thank you for all your emails over the last five days. I try and read as many as I can! Cheers.
