What a bowler Allan Donald was... My favourite at that period.. I still think he had the most beautiful bowling action ever!!!

I agree with you

This was the first series that got me watching cricket. Remembered this series quite fondly.

Thanks as usual to Robelinda.....great series... and good/bad feelings to see Hansie Cronje (mixed emotions).... he caught, tamed and made a good side of bright youngsters, talented pool etc., but in the end he went for garbage, the money, rather satisfaction and gone with the wind....RIP Cronje....I know it has been a couple of decades, but still cannot forget him... still tears....

I loved watching Pat Symcox playing for South Africa. Giving the batsman a send off after he’d got his wicket was brilliant!! We don’t see characters like that in cricket nowadays and that’s a shame.

Fantastic series this one. That game at Port Elizabeth was one of the best test matches I've ever seen and really every Aus v RSA series since readmission has been of a very high quality.

BEST SERIES....Both teams were very talented...

CONGRATULATIONS Legend Glenn MacGrath, my second favorite Bowler.

How great were macgrath and warne that Australia could make ridiculously selection of playing only 3 front line bowlers and still win.

A classic Rob upload of a classic series from a classic era. I remember following this series in school, Waugh/Blewett partnership, Paul Adams reverse sweep and Mark Waugh's 116 all being thrilling, all the while with Mark Taylor in the middle of a horror form slump and relentless calls to either be dropped or stand aside himself. That carried on even louder into Ashes '97 that followed, capped off when some UK tabloid journo presented him with a metre wide bat at a press conference. But it obviously spurred Tubby on as he went on to shut them all right up in the first Test, making one of the great knocks under pressure, especially by a skipper. I'll be the millionth to say this just today no doubt, but who cares - thanks for everything you do, Rob. You are a true legend of cricket, and friend to all the cricket family worldwide. Special mention also to Jack Bannister, presenting this series summary with his usual style. A '90s BBC TV coverage stalwart, and like Tony Lewis a class commentator and general class act.

Healy hooks...and its a six.... I remember this game on the radio. Thanks Rob.

Steve waugh was the greatest batsman of 1990s.he made Australia best team in test cricket with has batting against mighty Ambrose walsh bishop donald Pollack and co in their backyards.

RIP Jack Bannister

I remember listening to this series on the radio on my farm as a kid. I remember getting depressed after the end of day 2 knowing that Australia couldn't chase. I think it was like 1am when Healy hit the six to win it. A tv would have been nice.

Admin, Iove you for that ,it's one of my favourite series including ODI series

6:25 quick one from Klusener

South Africa beating Australia in 1992 MWC was the best memory I have. Australia was the defending champion from 1987 MWC in India and Pakistan. They had some of the best captains Kepler Wessels Hansie Cronje and the bowling was simply lethal.

Back when Jason Gillespie bowled like Chris Cairns

Hi robelinda Can you share the bowling footage of Donald in the last 2 matches of this series. I think he was really magnificent. Thanks in advance

Though there were excellent top order batsmen in SA line up in in the likes of Kirsten and Kallis, their lower order always stood more valuable in those days!!

302 was still a great total.today's Australian team would have collapsed against donald pollock.and ian Chappell doesn't rank steve Waugh.

Wonderful stuff Robelinda. Thanks a ton

Pollack allways got injured when Australians toured south Africa.south Africa were equally good as Australian just lacked mental health.

Wow Dennis Cometti and Drew Morphett, not sure if a test match or Saturday afternoon AFL!

One of the best series that I've watched, still remember the last test when umpire made horrendous decisions. Not sure why Taylor went with Bevan in 2nd test when a third seamer would have made hell of a difference.

+Omar Ayaz Bevan was playing at 7 to add batting strength because they couldn't (or wouldn't) drop captain Mark Taylor for his very poor run with the bat at the time. 3rd seamer would have been useful but weakened the batting too much.

+A Hogg - yes I can recall Taylor's slump with the bat but had it not been for Warne who bowled against the wind from one end and kept it tight in first innings, 3rd seamer would have cost Ausies in that important 2nd test.

Great video

Elliot could have been anything as a player. Have to think that knee injury took the edge off him.

This was epic series... Golden era of cricket

SA's batting was weakened by 1996 end, they mostly relied on Boucher, Pollock, Klusener and Rhodes though their openers did not do their job properly. Despite low scoring they managed to fight, hats off to their amazing bowling attack. I guess Australia on a whole was a better team in 90's which consisted on solid batsman, disciplined bowling and attacking fielding approach.

Glenn macgrath single handedly made Australia the best team in the world

Blewett was really unfortunate that he played in the same time as the Pointer.

Impossible Things that only Australians can do. Win from impossible situations.

Since SA side got back in world cricket? Looks SA was banned or couldn't played international cric before 1992WC

GOOD VARIATIONS IN AUSTRANS AND SOUTH AFRICANS BOWLING LINES AND FIELD PLACING IS GOOD.

Only Pakistani team at that time was able to stop Australian batting line up to make huge scores but umpires did favour Australia at tht time

South Africans were mighty than but sadly always going down against Australians

Pollock injured. They probably tossed the dice on a Donald spell a bit earlier.

I the third test the umpiring was just straight up biased towards South Africa.
