Skipper Tim Paine admits Australia must improve their “behaviour” after succumbing to a massive 492 run-defeat by South Africa in the fourth Test.
Australia capitulated during the morning session to bring to an end to a controversial four-Test series that was marred by the ball-tampering scandal in Cape Town.
“We have potentially had our heads in the sand over the last 12 months that if we continue to win we can act how we like and the Australian public will be OK with that,” said Paine after the series decider.
“We have found out in the last month that the Australian public don’t like the way we go about it, so it is pretty simple – we have to improve our behaviour.”
