STUART BROAD revived memories of his destruction of Australia at Trent Bridge last year as he ripped through the Castle Lager Proteas’ top order to secure the match and the series for England at the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium on Saturday. The England quick dismissed the entire South African top order to finish with figures of 6/17 in 12.1 overs. Remarkably the first five of those wickets came while he conceded only one run in six overs and that single run was the result of a dropped catch by Jimmy Anderson in the slips. His performance sent the Proteas crashing to 83 all out, leaving England to make only 74 for victory which they accomplished for the loss of 3 wickets for an emphatic seven-wicket win. All three those wickets fell when the match was virtually done and dusted. England thus take a 2-0 series lead into the final Sunfoil Test match at SuperSport Park next Friday and regain the Basil d’Oliveira Trophy which they last won in 2005 under the captaincy of Michael Vaughan.
