South Africa failed to get beyond the semi-finals round of the
ICC World T20 twenty-over competition, and had to wait a week before their
tour resumed.
The four matches scheduled for Queens Park Oval, Port
of Spain, were re-allocated to the Sir Viv Richards Stadium owing
to elections being called in Trinidad.Sabina
Park was due to host the 5th one-day
international and the First Test but these were shifted to Port
of Spain because of civil disturbances in Kingston.
The South Africans sealed a 2-0 victory in the
three-match Test series and retained the Viv Richards Trophy.
Dale Steyn was fined his match fee after the third Test for
spitting out his chewing gum at Sulieman Benn who made a comment when he was
dismissed.
