South Africa's victory
MCG...
There have been unbelievable things happening in the world of cricket. Recent one being, the aussies humiliated in their own backyard. One of them coming in a venue which was supposed to fortress of aussie team for generations, WACA at Perth.
Every avid cricket follower will agree with the fact, India are the one who has started the descend of Aussie right from the Sydney 2007. It was surely a first sign that Aussies are WIN-AT-ANY-COST mentality. They did not really worried, cared or bothered about how they went about winning it. All that mattered for them was winning.
Kudos to South Africa, not only for playing consistent cricket for beating Australia but also conducting themselves so well after the victory. It was a First Series Victory for SAfrica but the celebrations were so apt that it showed they were calmly confident about winning the series.
Surely the maturity of able leader in Gream Smith has helped them a lot. With him at the helm, it has been a great ride for south africa. Taking over from Pollock, in troubled times was not an easy task to do. But Smith did it & did it in style.
Biggest & most consistent contributor in the series victory has been JP Duminy. He acted like a matured pro. Playing in front of raunchy aussie crowd, with 7 down & only few bowlers to accompany him. It was a dream stuff. Every cricketer would love to play such kind of an innings, few do that.
Duminy has turned from a boy to man with his classy knock of 166.
Not to forget a mention of Dale Steyn for providing the attitude needed to beat aussies with the ball & with the talk. Kudos to South Africa.
Field is on same level now!!!!
