Possible Changes For South Africa XI

Two changes to the team that beat India so convincingly in Durban
are anticipated for the 2nd Test which starts in Cape Town tomor-
row.

Chinaman bowler Paul Adams, who bowled well  against  England  in
Cape   Town   last   season   may  well  be  added to the attack.
Should this happen it seems likely that Lance  Klusener  will  be
the   man  to  stand  down:  There  will be no experimenting with
the potent opening combination of Shaun Pollock and Allan Donald;
and   Brian  MacMillan  bowled  and  batted well in the Kingsmead
test.

The other likely change is the inclusion of the  richly  talented
and  in-form  Jacques  Kallis  in  place  of his Western Province
team-mate Herschelle Gibbs.  It`d be rough on Gibbs who enjoyed a
fruitful  tour  of  England  with South Africa "A" and has demon-
strated almost freakish fielding skills, but Kallis has shown ex-
cellent   form  since  coming back into the Western Province side
after a back injury.
