South Africa's brilliant victory against Australia in the first of three Tests should be hailed as the best Christmas present for local cricket fans.

South Africa's brilliant victory against Australia in the first of three Tests should be hailed as the best Christmas present for local cricket fans.

Graeme Smith's team achieved the historic win through a dazzling display of bowling and batting that exposed the World champions and reduced them to an ordinary side.

The Proteas should however not let the victory go to their heads. They must continue with the deadly display in the next two Tests and show the world that we can - - beat the best in the world.

This can only be achieved if they maintain the same calm, concentration and above all, team work.

Well done guys but go for the jugular in the remaining games.
