Australia tour of South Africa, 2011

Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers shared an unbeaten century partnership as South Africa regained the initiative on the third day.

Dale Steyn said the chat they had at Lunch made a huge difference as they hosts started creating more pressure which resulted in the Australians capitulating.

Australia, who were in firm control at the end of the first session, found themselves bowled out with just a 30-run lead.

Ali Bacher lavished praise on Gary Kirsten and the South African team's coaching unit, calling them the best South Africa has had since their return to World Cricket in 1991.

South Africa slumped from 241/4 to 266 all out as Siddle and Lyon sparked the spectacular collapse.

Jacques Kallis has become just the fourth batsman to reach 12,000 runs in Test cricket, and he's done it in a career that has seen remarkably low dips in form.

Dale Steyn has become only the 20th bowler to break the 900-point mark in the ICC Player Rankings for Test bowlers.

Graeme Smith was understandably upbeat after South Africa's come from behind win against Australia and praised his team's resilience.

Australian cricket must make ruthless decisions about its aging side in the wake of the team's shattering defeat to South Africa in three days in Cape Town, Australian newspapers said.

Graeme Smith shrugged off a year's poor form to play a defining knock in his favourite part of the match - the fourth innings of the Test - and guide South Africa to victory.
