Aussies unchanged as Klusener misses out AAP - 15 March 2002
Australia has an unchanged team for the third and final cricket Test starting today while South African selectors decided to use allrounder Andrew Hall in preference to Lance Klusener. Both were included in the squad of 12 and after Hall passed a fitness test for a stiff back today selection convenor Rushdi Magiet said he would be in the XI. "Hall has been picked as a bowling all-rounder and if we felt he could not give 100 per cent with the ball we would not have considered him," Magiet said. Fast bowler David Terbrugge will play his first Test since 1999 in Durban and Magiet said he would share the new ball with Makhaya Ntini. Terbrugge was confirmed after he came through a fitness test for a sore shin. Terbrugge, tall and accurate though not particularly quick, said he had modelled his game on that of Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath. "I look up to McGrath a lot, and if I could be nearly as good as him I'd be delighted," Terbrugge said. "I like to think there are lot of similarities between us - he's also built like an angry match stick." Justin Ontong had earlier been named South Africa's 12th man and Australia was to choose its 12th man on match morning. Teams: AUSTRALIA: Steve Waugh (capt), Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Ricky Ponting, Mark Waugh, Damien Martyn, Adam Gilchrist, Shane Warne, Brett Lee, Jason Gillespie, Glenn McGrath. (12th man to be named before the match) SOUTH AFRICA: Mark Boucher (capt), Gary Kirsten, Herschelle Gibbs, Graeme Smith, Jacques Kallis, Neil McKenzie, Ashwell Prince, Andrew Hall, Paul Adams, Makhaya Ntini, David Terbrugge. 12th man Justin Ontong. © 2002 AAP |
