Australia tour of South Africa 2013-14 News

  • When Johnson blew South Africa's house down

    It was the summer of 2014. Fresh off his monstering of England at home, the world's most feared fast bowler steamed in in Centurion

  • All-round Australia seal 2-0 triumph

    Australia ended their South African tour as they started it: with an emphatic win in Centurion

  • Time to draw a line in the sand?

    It's hard for everyone to agree on what constitutes acceptable boundaries when it comes to on-field behaviour. It's best if the ICC spells it out

  • Wet outfield worried both teams

    South Africa's coach Russell Domingo has suggested the second Twenty20 in Durban went ahead at the insistence of match referee Chris Broad, despite the captains and umpires agreeing the outfield was too wet

  • Hodge blows take Australia home

    Brad Hodge clubbed the third and fourth deliveries of the last over over deep midwicket to haul Australia home in a seven-over shootout against South Africa in Durban

From 1 for 1 to 1 for plenty

235
