3170017.65114.2 What a remarkable Test match that was from Sydney. Australia has won the dead rubber by 103 runs and retained the No.1 Test ranking. They were made to fight tooth and nail by an outstanding South African side who have created history by winning the series 2-1. After posting a commendable 494 in the first innings, the hosts did well to obtain a 118 run lead going into the second innings and a very sporting declaration late on the 4th day gave the Proteas a target of 376 to chase. The Australians took wickets at regular intervals and 207/8, it looked like the match was over. Steyn and Ntini had other ideas batting for over an hour and a half and even the courageous Graeme Smith came in at the end to save the game. Mitchell Johnson had the last laugh to win the game for his team with 10 balls to spare. What drama and what a Test match and series. Cricket at it's absolute best.
