Pat Cummins has declared Australia's batting must be better after their Gqeberha disaster ended in a final-session defeat with an innings-and-31-run loss to South Africa.

After Travis Head's century and Scott Boland's defence initially repelled the Proteas early on Thursday's final day, Australia lost their last wicket with 28.5 overs left at St George's Park.
