JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africa have to get a world record target with the bat to tie the test series against England but coach Mark Boucher suggested on Sunday that the near impossible was worth chasing.

South Africa must score 466 runs over the last two days to win the fourth test at The Wanderers -- 48 runs more than West Indies' record successful fourth innings chase against Australia in 2003.
