South Africa were on a killing spree in 2012/13, crushing oppositions from all continents of the world. They started off against the number 1 ranked England and crushed them 2-0 at their home to take the number 1 spot.

The Proteas then went on to win another memorable away series against Australia by 1-0. They inflicted back to back innings defeats on the touring Kiwis and sent them packing 2-0 without much fuss.

The number 1 side then thrashed Pakistan 3-0 to end the year with the Mace and the cash prize. It also featured Dale Steyn’s haul of 6 wickets for 8 runs which demolished Pakistan in the first Test where they were shot out for just 49.
