The batsmen did give enough runs - 413 - but SA had too much time at their disposal to score these runs. And they were clearly playing a sub-par bowling attack being marshaled by a sub-par captain. I can bet you that the same set of bowlers under a Steve Waugh or MS Dhoni or Sourav Ganguly or Greame Smith or Mark Taylor or Mike Brearly (he is at the same time the captain I love and the batsman I loathe) would have easily defended 413 and secured a victory for Australia.

As an youngster I think he played either in the same team or as friendly opponents with our Very Very Special Laxman. And probably was friendly at the crease too, looking at the enormous strike rate VVS has against Australians that included Brett Lee for most times. :-) There was one use for Brett Lee from Indian perspective.
