Brilliant effort by the Proteas....will rank alongside the Windies defeat in 1995 to Aus as a major turning point in the history of cricket.

Yeah man, great victory by the Proteas. Puts the choking tag to bed. The Aussies looked stunned.

How the whole world is basking in vicarious glory in this defeat of the hated and slated aussies. And how stupid all these big statements could sound if this is just a one off for the saffer team.
