22-Mar-2009•Brydon Coverdale in Cape Town

AB de Villiers' contribution of 163 continued his brilliant series, which had been the intention when the coach Mickey Arthur declined to push him up to open

21-Mar-2009•Brydon Coverdale in Cape Town

Defiant Prince returns with a bang

Ashwell Prince's return century was also an innings of defiance, not so much against a limp Australia attack but against the shabby way he had been handled by the selectors

09-Mar-2009•Brydon Coverdale in Durban

Australia have their 'Phil', and how

Don Bradman on Friday. George Headley on Sunday. It's a shame Test matches don't span three innings per team or Phillip Hughes could have tried to knock off Garfield Sobers on Tuesday

Flat South Africa slow off the blocks

In the first two sessions of the opening day the South Africans' minds were elsewhere when they should have been focused on making a bold statement to give their series a much-needed boost
