I think it does show us that we were wise not to offer any national contracts to spin bowlers this year. They have all upped their level of performance, which has been encouraging.

I think Johan will give us more options to consider going into the Sydney Test with two spinners a possibility.
|
I told him that one could see that he was tired. He must go and have a rest and pull himself together, because there's an incredibly difficult season waiting for us.
|
I was very impressed with the way he handled our discussion on Friday. He is certainly a much more mature person these days.
|
It is in our best interests that Kallis recovers fully before we bring he back.
|
Jacques has made a steady recovery, and it would be great if he were able to play on Friday as he is a key component in the squad, but we will not push him unnecessarily. It is crucial that he is 100 percent ready for the upcoming Test Series.

Jacques Kallis is a key member of our team and it is in our best interests that he recovers fully before we bring him back into action.
|
Jacques knew before the tour that he would be covering for all of the top six positions. I told him it was a great compliment to his abilities that he can bat anywhere and he is quite prepared to bat where he is needed.

Johan is a like-for-like replacement for Kallis. Although he is not in the same class as a specialist batsman, he is an impressive impact hitter.
|
Johan showed promise in India and we are bold enough to give him another opportunity.

Johan showed promise in India and we are bold enough to give him another opportunity. I am also optimistic that Nicky has the experience and desire to bounce back into the one-day squad.
|
Knowing Johan would, in all likelihood, be part of our one-day squad we thought maybe it was a good idea for a young man like him to come to Australia early, whether he plays or not doesn't matter.
|
That is something we still have to work out but whoever it is, he is going to be an unlucky man.
|
The medical experts say you need to wait between 24 and 48 hours to accurately assess the situation so we'll know more in a day or so. If there is the prospect of him recovering reasonably quickly then he will stay with the squad but if it looks like taking much longer then we would consider sending him back home with a view to being fit for the one-day series.

These are all must-win games, and you simply have to pick your strongest XI for must-win games. That's why Polly has played all of them. And at the moment Graeme is still a part of our strongest XI.
