<p>The number one Test team in the world had a forgettable year in Test cricket. The only positive result achieved was at Cape Town against the Windies. The 2-match series in Bangladesh failed to produce a result while the team was beaten fair and square by India in an away series. The team lost the 4-match series by 3-0 with one Test ending in a draw due to rain. The Boxing Day Test at home against England was another heavy loss by 241 runs. The 4-match series is alive and will resume in the new year and the Proteas will be hoping to get back to winning ways.</p>
