Least favourite home venue for South Africa

South Africa's win-loss record isn't so hot in Port Elizabeth, and their batsmen have generally struggled here

19-Feb-2014•S Rajesh

Air of discontent around South Africa

It has been a tricky few days for South African cricket, and not just because of Mitchell Johnson. They have come from behind many times to draw or win Test series and, on what promises to be a lively pitch, must do so again

19-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda in Port Elizabeth

Revisiting the ghosts of 1997

In 1997 Australia secured a remarkable come-from-behind victory in Port Elizabeth which helped define a generation. The lead in to the Test this year has some striking similarities

Mitchell mayhem, and a Wellington Vesuvius

A refreshing dip in the numerical magma chamber of the second New Zealand-India Test, and more

18-Feb-2014•Andy Zaltzman

Steyn needs better support - Ntini

There was only one winner of the fast-bowling contest at Centurion Park, but Makhaya Ntini believes South Africa can turn the tables if Dale Steyn is given the support that Mitchell Johnson receives

17-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda

South Africa attempt to paper cracks

Any changes to the XI for Port Elizabeth are likely to come from within the squad but there are few stand-out replacements

16-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda

Australia exceed the hype

Beating South Africa at their stronghold, Centurion Park, is among the toughest challenges in modern cricket. Australia obliterated them

15-Feb-2014•Daniel Brettig at Centurion Park

A fast-bowling high against South Africa

Mitchell Johnson's match haul of 12 for 127 are the best by a fast bowler against South Africa since their readmission into Test cricket

15-Feb-2014•S Rajesh

South Africa's bruises won't fade quickly

The bowling of Mitchell Johnson has made many people sit up and take notice, leading to comparisons with the very best. South Africa have now had their first-hand experience and it has been a chastening affair

15-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda at Centurion Park

Warner's second-innings heroics

Stats highlights from the third day in Centurion, where Mitchell Johnson and David Warner further drove home Australia's advantage

14-Feb-2014•S Rajesh

South Africa in danger of being scarred

South Africa have become known for their ability to fight back from tough positions, but that skill deserted them on the third day at Centurion as a ragged performance in the field flashed warning signs

14-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda at Centurion Park

Doolan ice extinguishes South Africa fire

Against a revved-up Dale Steyn, on a lively pitch, after the loss of an early wicket, Alex Doolan turned a nervous period into seemingly inevitable domination and vindicated his selection

14-Feb-2014•Daniel Brettig in Centurion

Worrying signs for South Africa's top order

It is too early to draw any long-term conclusions, but the home side's top order was given a rude awakening about the challenges facing them from Australia

13-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda at Centurion Park

Marsh's high and de Villiers' control

Stats highlights from the second day in Centurion, when Australia's bowlers backed up the good work done by their batsmen on the opening day

13-Feb-2014•S Rajesh

Nice to see you again, Mr Smith

Graeme Smith has plenty of memories of facing Mitchell Johnson. Some are good. Some are painful. In their first head-to-head of this series the fast bowler came out on top in double quick time

13-Feb-2014•Jarrod Kimber at Centurion Park

Johnson preys on fresh victims

As England discovered in the Ashes, knowing what to expect from Mitchell Johnson is a different matter to countering it

13-Feb-2014•Daniel Brettig

South Africa lack their Centurion spark

South Africa were not awful on the opening day, but from a position where they had Australia in significant trouble the attack could not ram home the advantage and back Graeme Smith's decision to bowl

12-Feb-2014•Firdose Moonda at Centurion Park

Highest by a No. 4 against South Africa since Harvey

Stats highlights from the first day in Centurion, which was dominated by Shaun Marsh and his 199-run partnership with Steven Smith

12-Feb-2014•S Rajesh

Marsh's rush job is one to remember

Shaun Marsh entered the first Test in Centurion with barely any time to think. As he constructed a century that may yet provide the foundations of a famous Australian victory, it was possible to conclude it had been good for him

12-Feb-2014•Daniel Brettig at Centurion

Battle of fast bowlers in pace-friendly venue

Australia are the hot team at the moment, but they'll be up against a strong South African side who have an imposing record in Centurion, the venue for the first Test
