SA eye Test series as well
EAST LONDON. South Africa, Dec 23: South Africa, bouyed by their comfortable victory over India In
the day/night series, seek to translate that superiority into the five-day game when the third Test begins on Saturday in Port Elizabeth, reports Reuter. . ■
After two drawn matches in Durban and Johannesburg. South Africa believe they can gain thetr first win in four Tests since returning from isolation and are likely to attack.
Captain Kepler Wessels, player-of-thc-scrlcs in the 11m-ited-overs competition— which South Africa won 5-2 — will move up to opener after the dropping of Jimmy Cook.
To give him a full complement of five bowlers olT-spin-ner Omar Henry can expect a recall.
India, relived at Sachin Tendulkar's return to form with a century against the South African students this week, and at captain Moha-
• mmad Azharuddin's heavy scoring in the day/nlght series, have to decide whether to stick without-of-form Sanjay Manjrckar or to recall Wookreri Raman.
While Azharuddin and Wessels agreed "Tests are very different" the South African
captain added: The day/night series hasn't done our confidence any harm and wc hope to carry that into the Tests."
The same may apply to Wessels' leadership. He has been criticised for what one Johannesburg newspaper called "dull and unimaginative"'
captaincy but began to show more adventure in the short game with Mike Procter, South Africa's manager calling his field placing "magnificent." Clive Lloyd, who as West Indies captain had 'unparalleled success, watched South Africa lose to West Indies in April and as match referee, saw the first two Tests against India.
He believes their biggest
weakness Is lack of experience.
They are a strong side but a young one. While some of the players have beemin country cricket (notably Wessels. Peter Kirsten and Allan Donald), and there is a wealth of talent, they need consistency.
“People expect to much to quickly. In Test cricket it takes time to get Into the groove."
Transvaal coach Eddie Barlow, a member of the great South African sldd that thrashed Bill Lawry's 1969/70 Australians 4-0 in the last series before isolation, pointed out that team took several years to mature Into the formidable force it became:
Barlow’s team beat Australia by 323 runs in the last Test at Port Elizabeth— also the last before isolation— with Barry Richards making a spectacular century.
St Georges Park, which also staged South Africa's first Test in 1889, has since been transformed by another of Sotlth Africa's impressive new stands.
If the fans are to see South Africa go ahead in the four-Test series they will have to score quicker— and bowl out and India side that, although not batting to potential, has proved very obdurate.
