This will undoubtably be an epic series win if the Proteas pull it off.

Like beating ABs in NZ .....
Great result by the proteas. The Indians cows has come home to be milked.
They spent so much money in ruining cricket with their IPL excessive money spending that most nations are starting to abandon test cricket. Can't believe the proteas will have no test matches this summer over Christmas.
Great to beat them at home like this

The rpoblem is that in the modern era people have no real inteest tow ait five days to get a result in matches, The fact is that test amtches draw little in audiences and the revnue collected is small,
Huge crowds attend ODI;s and T20 matches and that si where the money fr cricket really come from. Miost countries has developed their own drawcards to find cricket as a sport.
IN SA there are six teams playing T20 cricket entirely based on the IPL Eve teh anmes are absed on IPL team names, The highest paid SA player in the series starting on 26 December is R25 million - the lucky reciopient being Brewis, Secnd highest paid palyer is Faf.
The revenue from that seeries is what keeps cricket as a sport aive in SA. SA pity - but vey true,
. . ,
Massive victory...
Maaik, there's still lots of interest in test cricket...look at the attendance of the ashes and any test at Newlands this ti.e of the year CSA dropped the ball...p!$$poor form.
Attendance was good on the first 3 days.
on the last day, nobody pitched for obvious reasons.
Harmer, man of the series.
Markram set a world record wiv 9 catches.
