With Don Bradman having a run of mediocre scores and then being left out for Australia's match against Sri Lanka, something monstrous was on it's way. In the end, he even surpassed his personal best score of 334 in Tests.

Other than Graeme Pollock, everyone in South Africa's lineup tried the typical hard grind. They still need to survive for another day and a half to get out of this mess with some credit.

It didn't quite go according to plan for the the South Africans. Keith Miller and Adam Gilchrist made sure of that.

South Africa        457 & 233

[PCA]

Excellent batting by Bradman and Trumper. Simply no words for these legends.
We are on a great run and hope we will continue this.

@VC the slogger
Bradman was rested for Sri lanka's match.

Yes one man can destroy us.

Round 5 fixtures

South Africa v Sri Lanka at Cape Town

- Decade: 1990s
- Pitch: Good conditions for both batting and fast bowling.


West Indies v Australia at Sabina Park

- Decade: 1980s
- Pitch: Fast, bouncy wicket that clearly favors fast bowlers. Batsmen with grit might still survive.


New Zealand v England at Christchurch

- Decade: 2010s
- Pitch: Lot of movement on offer for pacers, but small boundaries make it equally in favor of batsmen as well.


India v Pakistan at Eden Gardens

- Decade: 1950s
- Pitch: Lifeless dustbowl. Five days might not be enough to bring out a result.
