Amla picks up the Sir Vivian Richards trophy and also collects the Test Championship mace and the cheque for finishing top of the tree - wasn't really expecting that now! But there we are, the world's best Test side crowned again. Comfortably victory and now they can take their success into the one-day cricket coming up, starting with three T20s against West Indies, the first one also here in Cape Town. Stick around for the best reaction to this Test and we'll be back on Friday for the first T20, 4pm GMT start, see you then...

Time to hear from the captains. Denesh Ramdin is reflecting on another defeat: "It was always going to be tough but we didn't do the good things for a long period of time we did it in short spurts. When you get starts you need to go on, South Africa did, we just made 50s and 60s. They're world class bowlers but we got starts so we did well but we need to go on. South Africa deserve to be No. 1 in the world and showed that here. Our one-day boys are here so hopefully we can get it a good go in the one-day series."

The Man of the Match is AB de Villiers : "The batting unit played really well, we stuck it out and waited for the right time to attack. You have to be patient in this game and wait to attack, I enjoy it when I get going but I like working hard for my runs. I've changed by technique on the front foot, it's important for me to feel confident but I can change my gameplan. But my mindset at the moment is perhaps the biggest change of all. I'm very happy for Simon Harmer, he took wickets in the second innings when perhaps he felt pressure to take wickets but all the bowlers as a whole did really well."

Man of the Series goes to the South African captain Hashim Amla: "We've got quite a few weathermen in our team but once we got out there I was really happy with the bowlers yesterday. Dale is a wonderful asset to have in the team, that spell yesterday was exceptional, working with Simon at the other end, they worked very well in tandem. We know the team is going to go through a period of change and the guys that have come into the team have done really well. The continuity of performances has been excellent."

Presentation coming up. Dean Elgar probably won't get much of a mention but he's played really well today. Calm and collected, did not panic when the pressure was on with those maidens first thing before gaining his fluency to take his side home with easy. Well done Deano, may have confirmed his place at the top of the order for a while.

For South Africa, it's a nice success for Hashim Amla who wins his first home Test series as captain. They have confirmed their World No. 1-ranking for April 1 and retain the Test Championship mace. He's been able to call on his bowlers who have delivered once again - that spell by Dale Steyn yesterday was outstanding - and also may have found a future spin option in Simon Harmer who enjoyed an excellent debut here with seven wickets.

This game was another case of if only for the West Indies really. In a good place in their first innings - so many starts for their batsman - they fell short of a score to create real scoreboard pressure. They then failed to bowl well enough for long enough and South Africa again built a handy lead via another AB de Villiers century. Yet again West Indies had a chance yesterday to give themselves a great chance in this match but Marlon Samuels chucked away his 74 and the floodgates opened. it was too much to ask for a fourth-innings fire.

No dramas for South Africa this morning, they have finished it off very comfortably to win by eight wickets completing a 2-0 series win. The gap between the sides properly displayed in the series scoreline, West Indies couldn't compete for long enough periods to put their hosts under enough pressure and a batting collapse was never far away, none more so than yesterday afternoon when they lost 6 for 13 to dash any real hopes of making South Africa sweat today.

The debate begins about who gets to score the winning runs. Elgar deserves it...

Target now in single figures...
