Theres a generation of South Africans whose memories of watching their Test team play in Australia are the complete opposite of Faf du Plessis and his teams. Generation now. Anyone 10 or younger has never known a South African side that has lost a Test series in Australia and to have added a layer to that legacy is this teams greatest joy.We know how hard it is. We watched on TV for so many years how hard it was to was for South Africa to come here and do well, du Plessis said. I suppose the younger guys looking from back home can see that its possible to come here and to an extent and dominate an Australian team. It is extremely special for us. Its something we will remember as a team. Thats exactly what we came here to do, we want to create memories together.Not since the West Indies between 1984 and 1992 has a team won three successive series in Australia but that is not the only thing that stands out about this South African victory. It is that they did it without the two players who have been stalwarts for a decade - AB de Villiers and Dale Steyn who are both injured - and Morne Morkel about whom there are concerns about match fitness. Also Hashim Amla, the leader of the batting line-up, contributed only 48 runs across three innings.It has taken a total team effort, something du Plessis has lauded. This team has been very close to exceptional, he said. There havent been many things weve done wrong. We have been consistent in the way we perform. We are not relying on one or two players. All XI are putting our hands up at different times and thats what you want from your team.Australia were warned of South Africas ability to spread the load last month in the ODI series. Albeit in a different format, in different conditions, South Africas 5-0 victory did provide the springboard for this series. We came across here with a lot of confidence, du Plessis said.Self-belief helped South Africa bounce back from a poor first day in Perth to take 10 for 86 and set themselves up for victory there. It also propelled them to pluck Australia for 85 in the first innings in Hobart. The twin collapses showed South Africa that Australia had weaknesses they could exploit, especially if they targetted their senior players.When you are a team thats under the pump and under pressure and not playing as well as you like, confidence will fade away, du Plessis said. Its hard to fake it. We didnt give them the opportunity to do it [assert themselves over a long period of time]. It was important to keep the important guys in the team quiet - David Warner and Steve Smith. If you can put a lot of pressure on them, the younger guys wont have that same punch. We made sure those guys have been relatively quiet in the series. Even guys like [Mitchell] Starc, he bowled well in that one spell but if you are on top, thats when you get a five-for and you clean the tail up. We were just really good in making sure we stopped that. On the other hand, once South Africa got an opening, they were unstoppable. It took just 95 minutes for them to finish Australia off on the fourth morning. Du Plessis did not expect the series win to come so quickly, although he suspected victory was inevitable after the pressure his bowlers piled on late on the third day. I didnt expect it to happen that quickly, du Plessis said. Yesterday, our bowling was exceptional. The last hour and a half, we were so good in our areas and relentless. We didnt get the results we wanted but we knew today if we came back, it would change for us. This is one of those sessions we will always remember as a team, that won us the series and it was unbelievable.It was unbelievable because it was more dominant than a South African side has ever been in Australia. Four years ago, South Africa battled through the first two drawn Tests and then won the third. Eight years ago, they won the first two Tests and lost the third. This time, du Plessis wants to take everything South Africa can from this trip, which means a win in their first day-night Test in Adelaide.That is the mission for us now, he said. We want to do that very badly. We wont rest on our laurels and be happy with 2-1 or even 2-0. Weve got Australia in a position where they are under pressure and we dont want to let that go. Its hard enough to get them in this position so we will do everything we can to make it 3-0.What memories that will make.

Shes hung out with the Boss.Shes used the National League MVP as a medal rack.Olympic champion Katie Ledecky is enjoying quite a victory tour before she heads off to college.Its been a crazy couple of weeks, but Ive also had a lot of fun with it, said Ledecky, one of the biggest stars of the Rio Games.On Thursday night, the swimmer attended a Bruce Springsteen concert at Nationals Park in Washington. She was able to meet backstage with the Boss, even tweeting out a picture with each of them holding one of her gold medals.I have been listening to Bruce Springsteen music riding in my familys car throughout my youth, going to early morning practices and to swim meets, Ledecky said. I have over 400 Bruce Springsteen songs on my iPod, including recordings of his live performances.Her father, David, is a longtime Springsteen fan, attending his first show at Madison Square Garden in 1978. Hes passed on that passion to his 19-year-old daughter, though this was the first time she had been able to attend one of the Boss shows.A relative of ours surprised us by obtaining tickets, Ledecky said. I have never had the opportunity to attend a Springsteen show because of my training and meet schedule, but I finally had a break in my training after the Olympics that coincided with Bruces show at Nationals Park.Ledecky, who lives with her parents in suburban Washington, also was at Nationals Park the previous week, throwing out the first pitch before a baseball game against the Baltimore Orioles.Bryce Harper, last years NL MVP, accompanied Ledecky to the pitching mound, which came in handy when the swimmer decided to shed the five medals -- four golds and a silver -- she captured in Rio, two of them in world-record times. It was the most successful showing by a female athlete in U.S. Olympic history.Harper, smiling, patiently draped the hardware over both arms.Bryce was a great sport holding the medals, Ledecky said. We had a lot of fun with it. And I threw a pretty good pitch.Springsteen, who has been playinng shows longer than four hours on his current tour, was intrigued to hear about Ledeckys grueling schedule.ddddddddddddShe told him how she would get up at 4 a.m. and drive to practice with my dad, listening to Springsteen songs, then go to high school, and practice again in the afternoon following school.The Boss, Ledecky added, seemed especially thrilled to hold one of her gold medals, which was nice since he has won several Grammys and an Academy Award.He said, `I always wondered what people do with these medals, Ledecky recalled. We laughed when my brother said, `They take them around to show them to rock stars. We told him how much his work and music have meant to us, and how much we love him.Passing on the chance to cash in on her Olympics success, Ledecky is preparing to head across the country for her freshman year at Stanford. Shes in no hurry to turn professional, saying she believes college will help her develop both as an athlete and as a person.Ledecky hasnt decided on her goals heading into the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, but said she will continue to focus on improving in the 100-meter freestyle and may take on the 400 individual medley.But the longer freestyle events will continue to be her bread and butter. In Rio, she became the first woman since 1968 to win the 200, 400 and 800 free.I want to have the college experience, Ledecky said. I think thats going to be a great experience for me. I think thats going to continue to help me improve both in swimming and in school. Im excited for the next couple of years and what they have to hold.Shes still holding off on getting her drivers license, even though shell be living in car-crazy California.I will be riding a bike around campus, Ledecky said. That should be good.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry . ' ' '
