Below AFP Sport looks at the largest targets chased down in 148 years of Test cricket:
After both teams made 240 in their first innings, Australia made 417 in their second innings and would have expected an attack featuring fast bowlers Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Brett Lee to finish the job. But hundreds from Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarine Chanderpaul changed the game before an unbroken partnership of 46 between Omari Banks and Vasbert Drakes sealed a three-wicket win.
Australia appeared to have put the game beyond South Africa’s reach but Proteas captain Graeme Smith’s hundred and a century from AB de Villiers helped guide the visitors to a dominant six-wicket success.
