All credit to Steyn in Proteas win

By

Dale Steyn took three wickets for four runs in 15 balls to break Australian resistance wide open and set the Castle Lager Proteas on their way to a massive victory by 231 runs with a day to spare in the second Sunfoil Test match at Axxess St. George’s on Sunday. The Proteas had taken the extra half-hour in their bid to win the match ahead of the predicted storms on Monday’s fifth day and there were only two balls left when part-time spinner, Dean Elgar – the seamers could not bowl in rapidly fading light – dismissed last man Nathan Lyon leg before wicket to claim the second wicket of his Test career.
