New Zealand great Ian Smith agreed, adding the Proteas had clearly won the opening two hours.
That Travis Head, he of the brutal counter-attacks had also fallen, made it even more meritorious for the Proteas.
England great Kevin Pietersen said Head was a โmassiveโ dismissal, likening his dismissal to that of Adam Gilchrist back in the day.
