Melbourne, Dec 26 : Proteas pace spearhead Makhaya Ntini has said that it's a war between South Africa and Australia after Boxing Day landed him another couple of wickets.
After dismissing Australian opener Matthew Hayden for the ninth time, Ntini said the Proteas deserved first-day honours in the second Test at the MCG.
"You must understand this is a war between two countries. Every single country wants to win every day," The Age quoted Ntini, as saying.
