It might not quite be the Ashes or India-Pakistan, but a series between Australia and South Africa has its own appeal. The two sides are competitive, intense, evenly matched, and bring the best and worst out of each other.Over the last eight years, Australia-South Africa contests have been especially epic: both teams have overcome the others home advantage, legendary captains have retired, and records have been made and broken.Heres a quick recap.2008: South Africa successfully chased 414 in Perth and won again in Melbourne - their first series victory in Australia.2011: Australia were bowled out for 47 in Cape Town, before sneaking to a two-wicket win in Johannesburg to draw the two-Test series.2012: A stonewalling in Adelaide that has become the stuff of legend.On the day, it was a show of defiance. In the context of the series, it shifted the momentum. For the players involved, it was defining. It was where Faf du Plessis showed the character that led to him becoming a stand-in captain. It was where Peter Siddle learned to lead an attack. It was where Nathan Lyon played his first real Test.I realised I was playing Test match cricket and teams dont just roll over, Lyon told ESPNcricinfo.Far from it. Usman Khawaja, who was not playing in that Adelaide Test, admitted what a lot of people would have been thinking. I was expecting Australia to win.South Africa finished day four on 77 for 4 in their chase of 430. Graeme Smith and Hashim Amla were out. Jacques Kallis was injured. Du Plessis was on debut. Even though Australia also had a casualty in James Pattinson, they thought themselves halfway home.When youve got debutants coming in, you know they might perform well because the reason they are getting an opportunity is because they are skillful, Siddle said. You think he might bat for a little while but then you might get him out. Hes nervous, its his first test, it wont last.But it did. And partly because of who du Plessis had at the other end. His childhood friend, AB de Villiers; the inventor of some of the most ingenious strokes in the modern game was not interested in anything other than the block. De Villiers scored 33 off 220 balls at a strike rate of 15 - a run every seven balls he faced - and did not breach the boundary once. It was an incredible show of restraint from a player who is known for scoring quickly.When Lyon called their partnership unbelievable, he was not saying so in the way the word is casually used. He really meant it.Australia tried everything under the sun, as Siddle remembers it. Michael Clarke bowled first change and went on to deliver 18 overs. Du Plessis was given out twice off him, both times lbw, both times overturned on review.Rob Quiney bowled, Ricky Ponting bowled, David Warner bowled. Nathan Lyon bowled more than anyone else, but in the absence of Pattinson, the responsibility fell chiefly on Siddle. He bore it bravely, even when it became difficult and even as he knew he was probably bowling himself out of contention for the final game.The first thing I learned was that I hope none of your fast bowling buddies go down injured again, Siddle joked. But personally, the biggest thing is putting yourself through that and knowing you can do it. Even though it cost me in the end. I didnt end up playing in Perth.Four years and a few injuries later, Siddle can see beyond the exhaustion of that day and reflects fondly on what the match did for Test cricket. People always talk about Test cricket dying and all those types of things, but that was exciting. They are the challenges you love about Test cricket. You dont get to see stuff like that in other forms of the game.Thats the great thing about Test cricket. The different challenges, the tactics, how it goes up and down from one side to the other. You dont mind if teams have to play defensively sometimes, thats also what Test cricket is about. Its not about trying to win every match. I am a traditionalist. I have always loved the longer form.Like Siddle, Lyon also appreciates the experience, although he certainty does not want to relive it.It helped me grow as a person and it helped our bowling group grow as well, he said. I have much better memories of 2014 though.2014: That year, Australia traveled to South Africa with revenge on the agenda. Mitchell Johnson was, in Khawajas words, terrorising everyone in world cricket at the time.South Africa had stayed No.1 all through that period, information that didnt mean much to Johnson. He tore through them at SuperSport Park, a venue where South Africa have been more successful at than any other, before Steyn returned the favour in Port Elizabeth.The series went down to a decider in Cape Town, where Smith announced his retirement mid-match and South Africa threatened another blockathon to save the game.Ryan Harris was the man with ball in hand then, and in the final hour on the final day, he removed a stubborn Morne Morkel to maintain Australias record of never losing a Test series in South Africa post-readmission. South Africa suffered their first defeat since being crowned No. 1. In a way its weird. You dont usually lose on your home soil, and then go over there and win, Siddle said.But thats exactly how South Africa and Australia have played it for the last eight years. South Africa have won in Australia, Australia have won in South Africa, and all the meetings have been intriguing.At a time when world cricket needs introspection over the questions of scheduling, possible expansion, and the place of T20 leagues, to have a rivalry this rich is a reminder of how unique international, long-form cricket is. If the 2016 edition of Australia versus South Africa is anything like the previous ones, theres nothing else youd want to be watching. Nathan Lyon agrees.To have two good teams going at it is exceptional for world cricket and it shows how good Test match cricket is. Air Max 2017 .J.

They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. Canterbury have condemned Newcastle to a club-record 14th straight NRL loss at Hunter Stadium, outclassing the hapless Knights 28-14 to move back into the top four.Newcastle lost 13 straight games in 2005, but their 2016 counterparts - winning just once this year and on track for a second-straight wooden spoon - have displaced them in the record books as the worst-performed team in club history.Bulldogs halfback Moses Mbye scored a try, set up another and kicked six goals from as many attempts on a wet Saturday afternoon to inspire the visitors to their sixth win from their past seven games.Canterbury (30 points) climb to third, at least temporarily leap-frogging Canberra (29) and North Queensland (28) who are yet to play this weekend. The Raiders take on Cronulla at Shark Park on Saturday night and the Cowboys travel to Leichhardt Oval on Sunday to face the Wests Tigers.Newcastle led 2-0 in the 12th minute courtesy of a penalty goal by former NSW Origin halfback Trent Hodkinson, playing against his old club for the first time.The Bulldogs eventually adjusted to the slippery conditions and responded with two tries in four minutes midway through the half to take a 12-2 lead.Hooker Michael Lichaa scooped up a Mbye pass and stepped past Jarrod Mullen to score in the 21st minute, then Josh Morris took a pass from twin brother Brett to touch down four minutes later. Mbbye converted both tries then added a 36th-minute penalty goal for a 14-2 lead at the break.ddddddddddddNewcastle created few genuine scoring chances and made life difficult for themselves with sloppy handling and a lack of discipline in the ruck, conceding five penalties while earning only one.Hodkinsons 40-20 kick in the 43rd minute provided a solid platform for the Knights to mount a second-half resurgence.Mullen took advantage two minutes later, bouncing out of Mbyes tackle and firing a one-handed pass for winger Brendan Elliot to score in the corner. Hodkinsons sideline conversion cut the deficit to 14-8 and the crowd of 13,318 found their voice.Elliot crossed for his second try just three minutes later, regathering Hodkinsons chip kick to score in the corner and Hodkinson converted from the sideline again to level at 14-14.The Bulldogs regained momentum in the 54th minute when Sam Kasiano charged down a Mullen clearing kick. Mullen tried to recover the ball but lost it in James Grahams tackle and Mbye was on the spot to pick up the crumbs and score next to the posts, then converted for a 20-14 lead.Mbye added a penalty goal in the 73rd minute to stretch the margin to 22-14, then Sam Perrett scored in the corner and Mbye converted.
