Michael Vaughan Brutally Trolled After South Africa's Win

Many believed that South Africa had a very easy route to the World Test Championship final, but they have silenced all their critics by beating the 'Mighty Aussies' on the grandest stage of them all. 'We came here with a lot of belief but also with a lot of doubters, and we are happy that we were able to play well enough to get that type of result. Special moment for us as a team, special moment for the people back home; probably it will really sink in a couple of days, but it's been special,' said South African skipper Temba Bavuma.
