MELBOURNE: Jean-Paul Duminy, in only his second match, played as fine an innings as you’d hope to see here at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, lifting South Africa from a precarious position in the Boxing Day Test to one of strength.

South Africa begin their Australian tour with a one-day game against the Adam Voges-led Western Australia on Thursday.

South Africa coach Mickey Arthur will rest captain Graeme Smith (elbow), pace spearhead Dale Steyn (hamstring) and spinner Paul Harris (thumb) although all three are expected to play in the two-day game against a WA XI at the WACA on Friday and Saturday.
