(Reuters) - Coach Mark Boucher believes his South Africa side is becoming "smarter" on the field and feeling the positive influence of new captain Dean Elgar following their 2-0 test series win in the West Indies.

The tourists recorded two big victories in Saint Lucia -- by an innings and 63 runs in the first test and by 158 runs in the second game that finished on Monday -- to claim their first away series victory since a 1-0 success in New Zealand in 2017.
