The highlight of this match will always South Africa's incredible chase of 414, their highest in Tests. But it will also evoke memories of a fast Mitchell Johnson who showed his first signs of becoming a destructive pace bowler. It was in this match that he used his primary weapon, the bouncer, and destroyed South Africa's batting order along with their morale. Debutant JP Duminy would never forget the welcome he was given. South Africa won the match, but Johson's 11 wickets (8/61, 3/98) was a win for fast bowling.
