South Africa may have generally fared poorly in Australia in the past, but have shown surprising mettle in first Tests of a series when they're Down Under. | Sport24news
The Proteas have generally given a good account of themselves in first Tests against Australia Down Under.South Africa will be playing a Test in Brisbane for the first time since 2012 and the second time since 1963.
South Africa responded with 258/3, with Andrew Hudson , Kepler Wessels , and Hansie Cronje also getting more than decent batting practice ahead of what became a memorable Sydney Test won by the tourists. That still gave them 122 overs to bowl South Africa out, but Jacques Kallis' 101 ensured SA escaped with a draw.
Only Kallis mustered up any resistance as SA fell to 128 and they would fail to make 300 for three consecutive innings until the futile 452 when they followed on in Sydney. Australia bounced back from 15/3 to reach their formidable total, while the Proteas slipped from 234/3 to concede a first innings lead of 94 thanks to Mitchell Johnson's 8/61.
The second day was washed out, but the trio of Australian tons carried the hosts to 565/5 and the 105-run lead troubled the visitors, who had enough in their batting tank to save the game with 166/5.
