Johnson guides Aussies to win

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Johnson claimed his career-best match figures as he bowled his team to a crushing 281-run win over South Africa on the fourth day of the first test at SuperSport Park yesterday.

Johnson followed up his seven for 68 in the first innings with five for 59 as South Africa were bundled out for 200. Johnson’s match figures of 12 for 127 bettered his previous match best of 11 for 159 against South Africa in Perth in 2008/09. It was a match dominated almost entirely by Australia, who thoroughly outplayed the team currently ranked number one in Test cricket. South Africa has not been beaten in a series since Australia beat them in 2008/09.
