On Thursday (January 05), Steve Smith started 2023 with a bang by slamming yet another hundred in the purest format during Day 2 of the third and final Test between Australia and South Africa, at the SCG, Sydney. In the second day's play of the New Year's Test, Smith and Usman Khawaja were going strong and the former completed his 30th Test ton to surpass Sir Don Bradman's tally (29).

Bradman ended his career with a total of 29 Test centuries for the Aussies, in 80 innings of 52 Test matches. Smith, on the other hand, surpassed his tally&nbsp;in his 162nd inning in his 92nd Test. The former Aussie captain is now also the joint-third on the list of leading century-makers for Australia in whites. Former captains Ricky Ponting (41) and Steve Waugh (32) lead the list with Smith and&nbsp;former opening batter Matthew Hayden with&nbsp;30 centuries apiece. Smith will aim to go past Waugh's tally during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, in India from next month, and narrow&nbsp;the gap with Ponting.

En route to his special ton at his home ground, Smith also went past&nbsp;both Michael Clarke and Hayden to become the fourth-leading run scorer for Australia in Tests. The 33-year-old&nbsp;is now only behind&nbsp;Ponting (13,378), Allan Border (11,174), and Steve Waugh (10,927),&nbsp;with his tally reading&nbsp;8,647 following his 104 in the ongoing Test.

Run-machine Steve Smith scores 30th ton in SCG Test to surpasses Don Bradman's tally, breaks several records

Pat Cummins-led Australia have dominated their ongoing home series versus South Africa. They ended 2022 with a bang, defeating Dean Elgar-led South Africa by an innings and 182 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead and beat the Proteas at home after a long gap of 17 years. With the series in the pocket, Australia will aim to kick off 2023 with a bang with a series whitewash and further consolidate their chances of reaching the ICC World Test Championship final, to be held later in June.

Talking about the third and final Test, it will be held at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), Sydney. While the game is an inconsequential tie, Elgar &amp; Co. have lots to play for with a WTC final ticket at stake. The Proteas entered the series as the second-ranked side in the points table but have now lost their last four Tests and are reeling at the fourth position. All is still not over for them. A win in the SCG Test and a series whitewash over West Indies, in a two-match series at home, will keep SA alive in the race for the WTC final. Nonetheless, they have to address some serious issues in their batting order to stand any chance of going ahead in the second cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;

For Australia, the likes of David Warner, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon, etc. are firing on all cylinders. Hence, it seems highly unlikely that SA will challenge the hosts. However, the tourists cannot be ruled out completely after having gone through two embarrassing defeats Down Under.&nbsp;

Australia vs South Africa 2022, 3rd Test: Where and how to watch third and final encounter?

On Thursday (December 29), Pat Cummins-led Australia thrashed South Africa by an innings and 182 runs to win the second and penultimate Test at the iconic MCG, Melbourne. Resuming the fourth day's play, SA were 15 for 1 and trailing by 371 more runs. Despite some fight from Temba Bavuma (65) and starts from&nbsp;Theunis de Bruyn and Kyle Verreynne, the Proteas only managed 204 all-out to concede a big win for the hosts.

Everything clicked for the Aussies from the word go. Opting to bowl first, Australia rode on Cameron Green's five-fer to dismiss the visitors for 189 before piling up a mammoth 575 for 8 decl. with David Warner (200) and Alex Carey (111) being the top performers. The South Africans somehow managed to cross the 200-run mark but have lost their fourth Test in a row to fall behind in the race to enter the ICC World Test Championship final. Here's the updated WTC points table after Australia thrash SA:

At the post-match presentation, skipper Cummins said, "It (the win) is right up there. We have had some great contests with South Africa, hadn't won against them at home in 20 years I think, so pretty special. I thought how Warner and Smith batted in the heat was pretty gutsy. Starc and Green as well, put their injuries behind and turned up. Davey was superb, you could see his energy from ball one and to do it in his 100th Test is awesome. He (Carey) has really cemented his place in the Test side and to get a hundred in a Boxing Day Test is special. He's (Lyon) good to go, just winded himself. Starc and Green will definitely miss the Sydney Test. Boxing Day is a pretty huge event and this year was even more special as we celebrated Warnie."

Meanwhile, Elgar pointed out, "It is not easy at the moment. That was bit of a hammering. We have got to do lot of reflection going ahead once again. There are a few positives coming out of this Test but not a lot. The inexperience with the bat in hand, we lost a lot of batters in the last few years and that has played a role. But that also gave an opportunity for the newcomers to come out, perform and stake a permanent claim in this batting group. But it is definitely hurting us at the moment."

Australia are nearing qualification for the WTC final with this win. They will aim for a series whitewash, at the SCG, Sydney, before their four Tests in India next year.

Updated ICC World Test Championship points table after Australia beat South Africa at the MCG

On Thursday (December 29), Australia ended South Africa's miseries in the second and penultimate Test, at the MCG, Melbourne, to win by an innings and 182 runs. From the word go, Australia have dominated proceedings and showed no signs of slowing down on the fourth day, when play&nbsp;resumed with SA being 15 for 1 after conceding a whopping 386-run lead.

Theunis de Bruyn, Temba Bavuma (65), and Kyle Verreynne showed some resistance but never threatened the Pat Cummins-led Aussie bowlers as Scott Boland (2 for 49) and Nathan Lyon&nbsp;(3 for 58) accounted for regular breakthroughs whereas the likes of Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Cummins chipped in with a wicket each. The Proteas batters once again fell flat as the team has now lost four successive Tests to dent their chances of reaching the WTC final. Had it not been for their last-wicket partnership, which added 27 runs, it would've been their&nbsp;eighth consecutive innings where South Africa wouldn't have touched the 200-run mark.

Australia thrash South Africa by an innings and 182 runs to win 2nd Test, take unassailable 2-0 lead

David Warner dominated proceedings on Day 2 of the second and penultimate Test between Australia and South Africa at the MCG, Melbourne on Tuesday (December 27). After Australia rode on Cameron Green's five-fer to dismiss SA for a paltry 189 on the opening day, the hosts resumed the day's play at 45 for 1 and rode on Warner-Steve Smith (85)'s 239-run third-wicket stand to dictate terms with the opener returning with a majestic 200. Playing his 100th Test, the swashbuckling opener made the most of the special occasion and has put Australia in the driver's seat as they are now well-placed at 386-3 with an overall lead of 197 runs.

Speaking to the press after the end of the day's play, vice-captain Smith -- who missed out on a well-deserved hundred -- heaped praise on Warner, who retired hurt on 200 after suffering from cramps and has backed the senior pro to keep going in the purest format of the game. It is to be noted that the 36-year-old had been criticised for his poor run of form but the opener silenced his critics in style on Tuesday.&nbsp;

"I don't see why not," Smith said.&nbsp;"He's fit and I don't see any reason why he can't continue playing. "He was certainly seeing the ball pretty well today, so fingers crossed he can keep playing well and he can play for as long as he likes," he added.

Smith also went on to reveal the chats he had with Warner during their marathon partnership at the MCG. "The more he started to cramp the more shots he started to play and everything seemed to be coming out of the middle. It was an amazing knock and nice to be up the other end for a large chunk of it," Smith stated. "I was doing my thing and he was doing his. It was just like, 'Keep batting'. He was like, 'I’m cramping.' I was like, 'Good. Just keep going.'," added the former Aussie captain.&nbsp;

Warner became the first Australian and only the second batter, after England's Joe Root, to slam a double ton in his 100th Test. He also surpassed 17,000 international runs as an opener during his impressive knock versus the Proteas.&nbsp;

'Don't see any reason why he can't': Smith backs Warner to continue in Tests after his MCG heroics vs SA

Australia dominated the proceedings on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test match versus South Africa on Tuesday (Decemebr 27) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Melbourne. Riding on David Warner's double ton -- who is playing his 100th Test -- the home side are in a commanding position at stumps; well-placed at 386 for 3 with an overall lead of 197 runs.&nbsp;

Coming into this Test match on the back of severe criticism due to his poor form in whites, Warner silenced his critics in style. He reached his double ton in 254 balls and his inning was laced with 16 fours and two maximums. Warner celebrated wildly and carried out his trademark jump after slamming his third double ton in the format. However, his celebrations were short-lived as the swashbuckling opener got injured and eventually had to retire hurt. He was struggling with cramps and aggrevated his pain while celebrating, leading to his exit. Here's the video of his celebrations:&nbsp;

Talking about Warner's knock, he stitched an impressive 239-run third-wicket stand with Steve Smith (85) to take Australia way ahead of the Proteas in the contest. He became the first Australian to slam a double in his 100th Test before walking out with update being that he was&nbsp;dehydrated. He also became only the second player overall, after England's Joe Root, to score a double hundred in his 100th match in the purest format.&nbsp;

On Day 3, Australia will like to continue their dominance over the Dean Elgar-led SA line-up and propel the lead past the 300-run mark to dictate terms in the remaining part of the second and penultimate Test. Pat Cummins &amp; Co. already have a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the first Test by six wickets at The Gabba, Brisbane.

Australia dominated the proceedings on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test match versus South Africa on Tuesday (Decemebr 27) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Melbourne.

Australia dominated the proceedings on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test match versus South Africa on Tuesday (Decemebr 27) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Melbourne. Riding on David Warner's double ton -- who is playing his 100th Test -- the home side are in a commanding position at stumps; well-placed at 386 for 3 with an overall lead of 197 runs. Coming into this Test match on the back of severe criticism due to his poor form in whites, Warner silenced his critics in style. He reached his double ton in 254 balls and his inning was laced with 16 fours and two maximums. Warner celebrated wildly and carried out his trademark jump after slamming his third double ton in the format. However, his celebrations were short-lived as the swashbuckling opener got injured and eventually had to retire hurt. He was struggling with cramps and aggrevated his pain while celebrating, leading to his exit. Here's the video of his celebrations: Also read: WATCH!

Jackson, Share Warne’s son, who was also present there, told Fox Cricket, "The happiness outweighs the sadness tenfold. To see all the zinc cream on everyone's faces, to see everyone with the floppy hats is unbelievable. To be also in front of the greatest man ever - in front of the Shane Warne stand - is just awesome."

Meanwhile, since Warne’s death, this is for the first time that a Test was played in-front of a Shane Warne stand at the MCG. Before the anthems were played, a highlight package of his career was also played on the big screen. Besides this, Warne’s name and his Australian Test cap number – 350 is also painted on the outfield for this match.

During day 1, at 3:50 PM – to match his number – the match was briefly paused to celebrate Warne’s life. The crowd raised their floppy hats and even chanted, ‘Warnie, Warnie.’

Cummins, while addressing the media on the eve of the Test match said local-boy Scott Boland will retain his place while ‘underdone’ Josh Hazlewood will remain on the bench.

"We gave Joshy every chance, (but) it just got to a stage where (he) more than anyone else felt like he was a little bit underdone," Cummins said.

"It's a mark of the man really; he himself said 'don't feel quite right', so he kind of pulled himself out of selection," he added.

Boland made his Test debut at the very ground last year against England during the Ashes picking up his career-best 6/7 in the second innings. In five Test matches played so far, Boland has picked 25 wickets at an astonishing average of 10.36.

Australia vs South Africa 2022, 2nd Test: Where and how to watch the Boxing Day Test match

Out of form Australia&nbsp;opener David Warner has opened up about suffering from mental health&nbsp;ahead of the Perth Test against West Indies&nbsp;earlier in November. The leadership ban episode with Cricket Australia (CA) hasn't left a good taste with both Warner and a section of cricket fans in Australia and across the world. Accusing CA of not having an open and transparent communication over this whole matter, Warner said heading into the West Indies series&nbsp;his mental health wasn't in the right space&nbsp;and that he struggled as well.

Warner, who hasn't had good outings lately in Tests, even at home, feels the pressure of getting dropped ahead of India tour next year. However, his team members and also Ricky Ponting have&nbsp;came out in his support and backed David to come good against South Africa in the remaining two Tests.

Speaking to the media ahead of the Boxing Day Test, Warner opened up about this whole event and said, "We reached out in February. So we have no idea how it went on this far and only CA can answer that and they'll probably give you the same thing that they always give everyone else, they don't really give an answer."

"Leading into the Perth Test, my mental health probably wasn't where I needed it to be at to be 100 percent. And that was challenging at the time. If I had it my way we would have had it all sorted. From the CA point of view, I didn't really have any support. My team-mates and the staff in our team were absolutely amazing, and my family and friends - they really got me through that period," Warner said on Saturday.

Despite being knocked down so many times recently, a thought of not playing for Australia never crossed Warner's mind. Instead, he looks focused to get his form back and deliver for his team at the top of the order.

"I've never had that in me to quit or to back down," he said. "I feel like I can get through anything. At the time I was focused on scoring runs and [doing] the best job I could for the team. I'd still do the same thing again because that's what I'm about, I'm about going out there and doing the best I can for the team. It is what it is now - I've moved on and I'm in a great positive mindset now."

David Warner accepts to be suffering from mental health issues ahead of Perth Test against West Indies

Star Australian&nbsp;batter David Warner is struggling big time to put up good scores on the board which is eventually putting pressure on him to retain his place in the side. Warner, who recently claimed that he might retire from Tests inside next 12 months to concentrate more on ODIs and T20Is, got out on a first-ball duck in the first innings of the ongoing Brisbane Test against South Africa.

As the speculations are growing about&nbsp;his participation in the future India series and even in the Ashes, former Aussie captain Ricky Ponting came to his defense. Speaking with Channel 7 on day 1 of the Gabba Test, Ponting said Warner deserves a chance to finish his career the way he wants given his incredible contributions for Australian cricket over the years.

Punter also insisted that Warner must take a realistic approach in making a call on his future, and that he would hate to see the left-handed batter bowing out of Tests after the India tour.

"I think what he should be doing is being as realistic and looking to the future as he can," Ponting said on Channel 7. "Like I said before, he deserves the chance to finish the way he wants to finish. I would hate to see him get to an Indian tour or at the start of the Ashes tour and then get the tap on the shoulder. That would be a disappointing way for his career to end…it might be after the Sydney Test. Let's wait and see. Also, I hope that he gets some runs between now and then."

Not only Ponting, Nathan Lyon also backed David Warner to continue playing for Australia. Lyon said everyone in the dressing room back&nbsp;Warner to come out&nbsp;good and show&nbsp;everyone the x-factor he is.

"We all know the X-Factor of cricketer that David Warner is and the type of batter he is," Lyon said. "He's got 100% support of the changing room and [that] should be the whole Australian public, to be honest with you. Yes, he got a good steep bouncer today but that was a hell of a catch to hang onto. I'm expecting David to come out and do amazing things."

Even in the second innings, he got out on 3 to Kagiso Rabada.&nbsp;
