Proteas' crushing victory opens up old Australian woundsSouth Africa skipper Faf du Plessis believes his side's crushing test win over Australia has opened up old wounds in Darren Lehmann's vulnerable outfit. The result followed the Proteas' recent 5-0 ODI whitewash against Australia in South Africa. PAUL KANE/GETTY IMAGES Victorious captain Faf du Plessis believes the South Africans have reopened the wounds inflicted by their ODI series whitewash of Australia. In late October, Australian paceman Peter Siddle laughed off suggestions from du Plessis that the one-day defeats had inflicted some mental scars. "It's a different format but you'd like to start well and almost open up those wounds a little bit again," du Plessis said after the test win in Perth.
