  • When the tide turned

    Cricinfo picks eight phases where the momentum shifted in the series.

  • A rare fightback

    South Africa completed a 2-1 series victory by winning the third Test by five wickets. It was a significant achievement considering they were 0-1 down. Not many have done it. Cricinfo looks at the stat highlights

  • Heart and the hard yards

    Most of all, this was Smith's victory. When his team needed to be shown the way,he was the first one out of the trenches

  • 'There will be a few guys under pressure' - Chappell
