Chasing the game all the way through since Australia won the toss and elected to bat - South Africa were left to chase down a mammoth total of 414 in last innings.. and they did it!!
Record list for highest totals chased ever in test cricket now has South Africa at the second position, thanks to a superb centuries by captain Graeme Smith and Abraham Benjamin de Villiers.
