South African cricket fans in Cape Town aren't sure whether to celebrate thrashing New Zealand by an innings and 27 runs, within three days, or be grumpy about the fact that there is no cricket to watch at Sahara Park Newlands this weekend. 

During the match, South Africa dismissed New Zealand for 45 (their lowest score this century), Dale Steyn took his 300th Test wicket (becoming the fourth South African and 25th bowler ever to do this), Jacques Kallis passed 13 000 Test runs (only Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting and Rahul Dravid have achieved this previously) and Graeme Smith now just needs one more test win to equal Ponting's record of wins by a Test captain (48).

Vernon Philander, who took an amazing five wickets for seven runs in the first innings, was named man of the match. Alviro Peterson, who scored a century for the Proteas, is one of the players loving his time in Cape Town. He said on Twitter: "The mountain, sea, newlands, wine farms, friends and great people... Cape Town".

Sahara Park Newlands is rated the world's second-most beautiful cricket ground by The Cricketer magazine, and it has been packed to the brim in the past few days as fans enjoyed the sunshine, the atmosphere and, of course, the cricket.
