It has been suggested that current crop of South Africa stars are the nation's best-ever squad, claims coach Gary Kirsten has been quick to play down. "It is a very special achievement for the Proteas and South African cricket. I don't think that what this team has achieved, over a long period, should be taken lightly," said Kirsten. "It has been nothing short of remarkable. We have played 10 test matches this year, nine away from home, and won series in England and Australia.
