President Donald Trump's nominee for the federal court in Washington withdrew from consideration after a video that showed him admitting a lack of experience and ignorance of basic legal concepts went viral.

South Africa also became the first team to win back-to-back series in Australia since the terrifying West Indies side in 1988-89 and 1992-93.
