A Proteas team with just 40 Test caps between them have opened up the prospect of squaring the two-match series after crashing to a 281-run loss in the first Test at Mount Maunganui. The Proteas have never lost a Test series to New Zealand, but most of their first-choice players have stayed home for a domestic Twenty20 competition. &nbsp; Piedt, who took career-best figures of 5-89 on a spin-friendly Seddon Park pitch, said his unheralded team had the self-belief to win. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s been a tough tour, but we have a great camaraderie inside that dressing room. We&rsquo;re quite open and honest with one another and hopefully those type of things will come through now. That&rsquo;s in the South African DNA and we&rsquo;ll fight as hard as we can now to get a famous, famous Test win.&rdquo;&nbsp;
