Preview
There is no better place to ask them to do that than Port Elizabeth. Not only is it the scene of West Indies' only Test win in South Africa, but is a gentler surface which could go some way to evening out the contest. After being dominated from the second hour at SuperSport Park, if West Indies can "give the Proteas" a fight in Ramdin's words, they will be on the right track.The Jerome Taylor of December 2007 was quick and incisive and one of the architects of West Indies' only win over South Africa at home. The Jerome Taylor of December 2014 was none of those things
Match Stats
1.Dale Steyn needs two wickets to surpass Makhaya Ntini as South Africa's second-highest wicket-taker, and 11 wickets to reach 400
