Mitchell JohnsonMitchell Johnson Leads Australia to win the first test against South Africa on the final day by 162 run.
South Africa Chasing a big total of 454 were bowled out for 291, Mitchell Johnson took 4 for 112 and Siddle took 3 for 46 put Austalia 1-0 in the three match Series.
Man of the Match Mitchell Johnson also scored useful unbeaten 96runs, I felt a bit flat this morning and the legs were heavy but seeing how Siddle and (Ben) Hilfenhaus bowled really encouraged me, Johnson said.
Johnson further added "Patience and persistence were the keys, patience is very important on a pitch like that.,"
After the Victory Pointing said "This has been a very good team performance by all of us, with three debutants playing in this game, and at different times all three stood up and did a great job I thought," he told Sky Sports.
Pointing further added"We've had a long time to think about the home series that we played and the mistakes and errors that we made, and I think we've rectified most of those this week.
"Not going in with a spinner and picking Hilfenhaus over Bollinger, we figured here is where the ball is known to swing around a bit and the way it seamed around for most of this game justified those selections.
"It's just a really good solid effort from the 11 players on the field and the off-field people that have supported us this week, it's been a real team effort to turn things around and having won our last two Tests against this South African side I think this team is bouncing back and showing a lot of good qualities."
