South Africa v England

England foiled by nine, ten, Jacques

This is the full text of the South Africa-England second-Test report that that should have appeared on pages 70 and 71 of the February 2005 issue

Graeme Smith admitted that fortune had smiled on South Africa in the closing stages of the second Test at Durban, but praised the tenacity of his team, since lesser sides might have crumbled in the face of such a turnaround

Refusing to die

The Wisden Verdict

'South Africa got out of jail,' says Vaughan

"An epic!" declared Michael Vaughan, as he strode in to face the media after the second Test at Durban had ended in a nailbiting draw
