No doubt the victory was sweet....last victory in South Africa in test.......but the series was lost 1-2..... losing the next two.....last test was innings defeat.... flash in pan.....
even winning a test in SA, against that team, was phenomenal. SA only lost series to Australia between 2008 and 2017. That side had Dale Steyn, by then the best fast bowler in the world, morne morkel, an enforcer par excellence, makhaya ntini, who was still world class, and had caused the WI all sorts of problems in the previous seven years, starting with SA's 2001 visit, and shaun pollock, who was an all time great. no shame losing to a team like that. not to mention AB, kallis(i say this begrudgingly), smith, hashim amla(averaging well over 50) among others. the only trash player on that team was paul harris.
