The New Zealand cricket team toured South Africa from 18 December 2012 to 25 January 2013. The tour consisted of two test matches, three One Day Internationals, and three Twenty20 International matches.[1] In their first innings of the First Test, New Zealand were dismissed for just 45 runs, their third lowest Test match total and the lowest total in Test cricket in 39 years.[2] In the same match, South African cricketer Jacques Kallis became the fourth batsman to make 13,000 runs in Test cricket.[3] New Zealand were without ex-captain Ross Taylor, who had a falling-out with coach Mike Hesson,[4] and Jesse Ryder, who remained in self-imposed exile from international cricket.[5]
