Top 5 Boxing Day Tests of all time

3. South Africa vs West Indies (2007 at Port Elizabeth)

West Indies pulled off a major upset by defeating South Africa at home

The first Test of the Sir Vivian Richard Trophy was held at Port Elizabeth. Not much was expected from the Windies side as the Proteas were very strong at home.

South Africa won the toss and elected to bowl first. Some solid contributions from the top order and century from Shivnarine Chanderpaul helped the Windies post 408 runs on the scorecard.

In reply, some brilliant bowling from fast bowler Daren Powell at the top along with a good clean up act of the tail from Dwayne Bravo helped West Indies take a lead of 213 runs. West Indian batting line-up struggled in the second innings and could only post 175 runs.

Chasing a stiff target of 389 runs, South Africa were wrecked early by some inspirational bowling from Fidel Edwards who cleaned up the top order. Fifties from Jacques Kallis and AB De Villiers kept the Proteas in the game but once they fell, it was all over as the West Indies recorded a famous upset by winning the match by 128 runs.
