England humbles host South Africa by innings
By Ken Borland
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 31 - 12 - 2009

Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad bowled South Africa out for 133 as England completed victory by an innings and 98 runs on the fifth day of the second Test at Kingsmead Wednesday.
The pair of Nottinghamshire bowlers shared nine wickets as South Africa, who began the day on 76-6, was dismissed after 18 overs and condemned to its first innings defeat by England in 45 years.
Trailing by 156 runs at the start of play, Mark Boucher and Morne Morkel were set the unenviable task of resurrecting South Africa's total and forcing England to bat again.
Morkel rode his luck when dropped by Andrew Strauss at slip off Swann on the 10th ball of the day, but hung back on the crease on the next delivery to be trapped lbw for 15.
Boucher was dismissed seven overs later for 29, judged caught behind gloving a lifter from Broad after England referred an initial not-out decision for review. With South Africa teetering at 108-8, Paul Harris swung lustily for 36 but scooped a catch to mid-on from Jimmy Anderson who replaced Broad at the Umgeni End.
Swann, who celebrated his fifth wicket for the inning after trapping Dale Steyn in front for three, was named Man of the Match.
The off-spinner finished with 9-164 for the Test, with his turn and variation in pace regularly bamboozling the batsmen.
Broad finished with4-43 in 17 overs, his burst of 3-18 on the fourth afternoon having put England well in control.
Despite coming into the match as favorite after being a wicket shy of victory in the first Test at Centurion, South Africa heads to Cape Town for the third Test on Jan. 3 1-0 down in the four-Test series.
Strauss described his team's innings victory as one of the best away wins he had experienced.
“It's as emphatic a win away from home as we've had since I've been involved,” Strauss told a news conference.
“Pretty much everything we wanted to do, we did. They never got away from us, we hit them hard early with both bat and ball, and then put the runs on the board to have them under pressure.
“It's a case of keeping things simple and doing the hard work and we've come a long way in the last 12 months. It's great to end the year on a real high.”
Strauss would not comment on South Africa's problems but said he was sure they would hit back hard.
South Africa will not be panicked into making sweeping changes, captain Smith said.
“It's clear in our heads what we need to look at, those areas in which we are not up to standard. It's obviously been a disappointing year and we have not lived up to the hype of 2008,” Smith told a news conference.
