From 'Vinnige Fanie' to the Steyn remover: SA's 5 magical bowling performances Down Under

Magical and unforgettable fast-bowling spells are required to win Test matches and series in Australia and the Proteas haven't been short of those.

Here are five unforgettable bowling displays in Australia by South African pacers:

Fanie de Villiers, 4/80 and 6/43 in Sydney - 1994

It often goes under the radar that De Villiers took 10 wickets in the timeless SCG epic, but on a parched surface, De Villiers, Allan Donald (4/83), and Pat Symcox (2/82) ensured Australia were kept to 292 after bowling SA out for 169, but forced them to drag their innings out across 141.2 overs.

It had the effect of allowing an already incendiary pitch, which saw Shane Warne take 7/52 in SA's first innings, to deteriorate further. However SA's 239 - which was backed up by Jonty Rhodes's 76* - spanned 109 overs, which meant Australia needed the fourth evening and fifth morning to make 117.

They slept on 63/4, with Michael Slater (1), David Boon (24), Tim May (0) and Mark Taylor (27) all falling to De Villiers.

Donald (3/34) made the major fifth morning plays with the scalps of Allan Border (7), Mark Waugh (11) and Ian Healy (1), while Hansie Cronje ran out Shane Warne (1) to leave Australia tottering at 75/8.

Craig McDermott (29*), clearly hurting from the Adelaide thriller against the West Indies where they lost by one run, chanced his arm to bring Australia close.

Strokeless wonder Damien Martyn (six off 59) and Glenn McGrath were prised out by Donald and De Villiers respectively, with the latter snaring a famous return catch to give SA a fine and yet to be repeated SCG win.

Shaun Pollock, 7/87 in Adelaide - 1998

The Proteas were fresh from an innings and 21-run loss in the New Year's Day Test where Shane Warne's 11 wickets proved the difference.
