"It was a triumph over politics and economics as much as over a rival group of players." Geoff Lemon

South Africa winning the world test championship is good for the game. And they deserved the win - played smart.

Sorry Lord I didn't knew your game .

Bavuma says that character is an important trait they look for in a team member.

So important in life and test cricket demonstrates the importance of that over 5 days.

It was the 'can do' positive attitude of the top order South African batsmen in the face of a daunting run chase that won South Africa the world test final.

Congratulations SA #cricket #testchampionship

Verreynne scores the winning single with the clock reading 12:46 on Saturday June 14th. The margin is five wickets, and 26 years after the first of many 'so near but so far' moments South Africa men have finally won a global tournament.

CONGRATULATIONS SOUTH AFRICA!!! South African wins the ICC world test final!

This is great for cricket around the world!

Well done South Africa #Cricket #AUSvSA #WTCFinal

Verreynne levels the scores with a single off the last ball of the over. That means that SA have won the WTC, since even if they now lose all their remaining wickets in a heap for the match to be tied they topped the table during the league stage.

Oooh, the tension! The scores are tied!

Markram perishes in the moment of victory, caught at midwicket. South Africa 276-5, need six more to win. Markram will certainly be named Player of the Match for his 136.

Three more to Markram, means it is seven to win and seven for his 3,000 test runs but he is off strike.

I assume all other #SouthAfrica #cricket fans also no longer have fingernails, tips, etc. just stubs?

South Africans are going to celebrate every run from now. Just 18 runs to go.
