Michael Vaughan's comments that South Africa reached the World Test Championship final by beating 'pretty much nobody' overlook their significant victories, including robust wins against other competitive teams.
South Africa decisively defeated India at Centurion, showcasing their strength in the series. Additionally, their away victories over the West Indies and Bangladesh illustrate their capability, contrary to Vaughan's dismissal.
While South Africa's path to the final hasn't included top teams like England or Australia, their overall performance, particularly against teams that can beat formidable opponents, solidifies their case.
The Proteas' decision to field a weakened squad against New Zealand does not erase their accomplishments. Vaughan's assertion requires scrutiny and misunderstands the context of South Africa's achievements.
