Temba Bavuma And Proteas On Verge Of Wtc Final Ticket As Pakistan Take Guard

The Proteas mens team are known for falling short of glory in ICC events, but in the World Test Championship WTC there is genuine belief that South Africa have the ability to go all the way.

The history of Proteas teams at limited overs Cricket World Cup is littered with heartbreak, but in Test cricket it is quite different.

The Proteas Test team have achieved many milestones since readmission to international cricket, chief among them the number one ranking in the format and series victories against England, Australia and India over the years.

Arguably the best of those sides was the Proteas team which triumphed against hosts England in 2012. Winning the three-match series 2-1 with victories coming at The Oval and Lords was the pinnacle of SA Test cricket.

The win in the third and final Test at Lords also saw South Africa earn the number one ranking, and the ICC mace was presented to them for their achievement.
