Also, first time S. Africa have won against the Aussies in Australia, ever? Well for a hundred years anyway! Yes, but due to South Africa's international exile, they'd only played there a few times until the 1990s.

Still, first time they've won for a hundred years. Only stating a fact!

The last series the South Africans played Australia before the exile was in 1970 on South African soil.
S.A trounced them 4-0 and that was their best ever side and best ever series performance. They knew that they were to be banished soon after and were determined to show the world what they could do.
It's really sad that the likes of Clive Rice and Jimmy Cook never played test cricket.
