Australia Vs South Africa 2nd Test

Kingsmead, Durban

Australia back in the Top in the Cricket Rating for Best Test Team. After Defeating South Africa in South Africa, Australia will be looking to Lead the Test Series, At present Series is 1-0.

Bryce McGain's chances of making his Test debut, but Australian Skipper Ricky Ponting said it would be difficult to change Australia's winning side. This side has played really well over five days. There have been really valuable contributions from everyone when they needed to do it

The second Test begins at Kingsmead on Friday and Australia's two slow men, Bryce McGain and Nathan Hauritz, are hoping to be in contention. However, the three genuine fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson, Peter Siddle and Ben Hilfenhaus performed strongly and their medium-pace backup Andrew McDonald built the pressure with economical spells and collected a wicket in each innings.

After winning the First Test, Ponting said We'll have to have a closer look at that for Durban. One thing we do know down there is that the ball will always swing in Durban as well, particularly early in the game.

South Africa Skipper Smith added "Generally Durban is a good wicket with good pace and bounce It has been over the last period of time a really good Test wicket that deteriorates as the Test match goes on so certainly as a team we won't be making any panicky changes. We've got Albie Morkel coming into the squad but other than that it's just about improving our standards."
