Five interesting facts about the retiring Proteas spinner Robin Peterson

#2 Sending off Ricky Ponting

Robin Peterson invoked an outside edge off Ponting

Perth has traditionally been a fast bowler's paradise and question marks were raised when South Africa, who have had recent success in the ground, opted to play a spinner in Robin Peterson in Ricky Ponting's last Test match.

While many fans around the World expected the stalwart batsman to pull out another one of his big knocks, Robin Peterson had other ideas as he invoked an outside edge off Ponting, on 8, that was pouched safely by Kallis in the slip cordon.

Interestingly, Peterson went on to have a great Test match, picking up six wickets in the match as South Africa famously won by 309 runs. Peterson's success in the match may have prompted the move to play another left-arm spinner, Keshav Maharaj, at the same venue, three years later.
