Dreams do come true

'Proteas have reminded us all to believe.'

- Jacques van der Westhuyzen

South Africa - world Test champions. It has a lovely ring to it. The Proteas' World Test Championship-winning cricketers are preparing for their return to South Africa tomorrow morning when they'll arrive as this country's latest sporting heroes.

Temba Bavuma and his team ended a 27-year Proteas drought without a major international trophy on Saturday when they beat overwhelming favourites, Australia in the ICC Test final at Lord's by five wickets.

Bavuma was one of the heroes of the famous 282-run chase, scoring a crucial 66 in the second innings.

The other two big stars were Kagiso Rabada, with his nine wickets in the match, and opening batter Aiden Markram, who scored a brilliant 136 in the second innings.
