Mitch Starc took a wicket and completed a run out despite suffering a broken finger, while Nathan Lyon battled through shoulder pain to take three of his own before Steve Smith completed the victory, bowling South Africa out for 204.

I think we'll leave it there
By Jon Healy
Winning in two days in Brisbane, then winning by an innings and 182 runs in Melbourne is about as emphatic as it gets in a three-match series.
It's honestly a shame South Africa hasn't put up more of a fight, particularly with the bat, but you can't take anything away from this Australian team.
It will be a very different looking side in Sydney in a few days' time though and there's plenty of team speculation and selection to get through before then.
We'll bring you every bit of news between now and then at ABC Sport, and we'll of course be blogging once again when the Sydney Test starts on Wednesday.
Until then, have a happy new year!
'Inexperience is killing us': South Africa captain
By Jon Healy
Dean Elgar acknowledges an absolute hammering and seems to suggest some major changes might be necessary, but I'm not really sure what rein they have left to pull.
This is a long way from the days of Graeme Smith, Hashim Amla, AB de Villiers, Faf du Plessis and Jacques Kallis.
"Inexperience is killing us. We've lost a lot of batters the last few years but there's opportunities for guys to come in and make spots their own and inexperience is really hurting us at the moment."
So, what's left to play for in Sydney?
"A lot of pride. 2-1 sounds a lot better than 3-0."
Warner says he wants to keep going
By Jon Healy
David Warner is obviously the winner of the Johnny Mullagh Medal as player of the match, and the 36-year-old says "you never know" when asked if this could be his last Boxing Day Test.
"If I'm still feeling as fit as I can then I'm going to keep going as long as I can, but if I get that tap on the shoulder then I'll have to go."
A real team effort, says Starc
By Jon Healy
Mitchell Starc, sporting a middle finger with a small fracture and a detached tendon, says it was "nice to be able to play a role". Three wickets, a run-out and generally an excellent opening spell.
"We adapted to all hurdles this week," he tells ABC Sport of this Test.
He says he's very proud of the way the team played on "two very different wickets" at the Gabba and now at the MCG.
"Across the board the way the batters and bowlers have contributed ... it's just fantastic."
Australia beats South Africa by an innings and 182 runs to wrap up the series!
By Jon Healy
Steve Smith of all people finishes it off, bowling Lungi Ngidi to have South Africa all out for 204.
Leading 2-0 after two of three Tests and Australia has beaten South Africa at home for the first time since 2006, doing so with this complete demolition at the MCG.
As ever, this was a total team effort from Australia. Yes, David Warner gets a stump and player of the match thanks to his first-innings 200, but Alex Carey's 111 and half-centuries to Steve Smith, Travis Head and Cameron Green all contributed.
Six different Australians took wickets in the match, plus run-outs from Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Starc. This is a team in complete balance right now, albeit with injuries coming down the pike.
69th over - Steve Smith is back. OK then.
By Jon Healy
DROPPED! Nortje played back and cut hard, but David Warner couldn't handle the fast catch right into the breadbasket.
What a mess! Nortje reverse sweeps and they steal a single, with the return throw ricocheting up into Marnus.
68th over - Lyon to Lungi Ngidi
By Jon Healy
Will he try to hit him out of the ground again?
Four! South Africa reaches 200 with a chunked boundary through mid-wicket.
Ngidi's going conventional, Nortje's going reverse, but there's a fielder there still.
67th over - Can South Africa finally reach 200?
By Jon Healy
With nine off the last over, they only need nine more to reach 200 for the first time in eight innings since August.
Nortje gets up the other end with an ugly single through cover.
Half duck + half parry with the bat = ugly dot ball.
It's not a full ball but it's not a bouncer, and Ngidi gets himself in all sorts to parry off his hip behind square.
Four! Accidental ramp from Nortje, who ... look, I don't know what that was. He'd started to duck and then lobbed the bat up at it.
This is scary stuff.
66th over - It should be tea time, but the session is extended by half an hour
By Jon Healy
Nortje goes the reverse sweep. Straight to the fielder for none.
Now he charges and tries to heave over the leg side, but thick inside edge is all he can muster.
Ngidi goes the tonk over the off side. Two more.
Then he misses everything with a slash across the line.
Six of those please. Long from Lungi on the slog sweep.
65th over - Starc trying to clean up
By Jon Healy
Nortje muscles a ball off his stomach height down to long-on for a single.
And now there's a delay because Ngidi has forgotten his armguard.
It's on now and he immediately has to duck under a couple of bouncers.
The full ball can't be far away.
There it is, the big yorker collects a pad and the Aussies go up but it's too far down leg.
FOUR! Starc tries the yorker again and Lungi Ngidi plays a lovely straight drive to what turned out to be a full toss.
64th over (cont) - Don't go anywhere, this won't take long
By Jon Healy
Lungi Ngidi is out there and almost out first ball, but it was just pad and belly on the way through to short leg.
Rabada goes as well! This innings is tumbling towards the end
By Jon Healy
Similar to Bavuma, just a slog sweep across the line by Kagiso Rabada and this time it's Pat Cummins who takes an excellent catch tracking back under a ball that went very high.
64th over - Lyon bowling to Rabada
By Jon Healy
Spinners love bowling to tail-enders.
63rd over - Starc steams in at Rabada
By Jon Healy
He's first one is fired into the pads, but it's going too far down leg.
Rabada gets a single through cover, so Anrich Nortje will face Starc.
The first ball is a pretty ordinary bouncer. Very leg side.
Bavuma holes out!
By Jon Healy
Inzamam ... sorry ... Temba Bavuma goes the big slog sweep across the line and top-edges it miles into the air, but sub fielder Marcus Harris steadies under it and takes a good grab.
Bavuma goes for 65, Lyon has another one and South Africa have two wickets left.
62nd over - Kagiso Rabada faces Nathan Lyon
By Jon Healy
Only two fielders around the bat. Interesting choice to the number nine.
ANOTHER RUN-OUT! MAHARAJ IS GONE!!
By Jon Healy
Bavuma is involved in another one.
Maharaj punched into the covers and Labuschagne fielded in the deep, but there was definitely a third on offer. Bavuma turned blind at the non-striker's end, took a shuffle down the pitch and then pulled out of the run, but it appears he didn't say anything, leaving Maharaj two-thirds of the way down the pitch without a pot in which to relieve himself.
Labuschagne's return throw came in pretty slowly to Starc, but he scopped it up and flung it down the other end, getting a direct hit on the full to catch Maharaj short.
The batters almost ran into each other on the second, then Maharaj ran at a wide angle for the last, and with the margins so fine, you have to wonder if he'd have made his ground if he ran a straight line.
Alas, he didn't and South Africa are seven wickets down, in danger of failing to make 200 yet again.
61st over - Starc is back
By Jon Healy
Maharaj punches through cover. Three on offer. AND THERE'S A MIX-UP!!
Maharaj might be gone!!
60th over - Lyon swings around to replace Smith
By Jon Healy
Four! Too full and Maharaj clatters him through mid-off. He's getting his eye in well and punishing his opposing spinner.
Bavuma sweeps the last ball and gets an edge onto his pad, but it runs away for a couple of runs. A few loose shots from him in the past two overs. Pressure mounting.
