South Africa are considering playing fast bowler Charl Langeveldt for the fourth Tbst against England despite his fractured hand, Graeme Smith said on Wednesday.
"He's not going to be 100 per cent fit if the selectors do decide to pick him.” the South Africa captain told a news conference.
"The injury doesn't affect his bawling and fielding, just his batting. I feel he added value to our bowlinginCapeTown."
Langeveldt injured his left hand while batting in the third Test, his first match, but then took five for 46 after taking pain-killing injections. South Africa won by 196 ninstolcvel the five-match series at I-1.
The fourth Test starts in Johannesburg on Thursday,
Smith added that Mark Boucher, recalled to the squad after missing South Africa's last five Tests, was odds-on to replace AB de Villiers behind the stumps.
"It does look that way at the moment," Smith said.
De Villiers, 20, opened the batting in the first Tbst on his debut before taking theglaves from Thamilbolekile inthesecondandthirdTests.
He now seems likely to be selected as a batsman ahead of struggling Hashim Amla, thus giving him his third role in four matches.
"Wc do need to settle down with him, but there's not a great deal of difference about batting at number five, six or seven," Sm. th added.
"It's crucial that we start well, because England will conie back fighting."
But he dismissed the idea that the momentum in the scries had swung his team'sway after Capelbwn.
hesaid. "Once that coingoesupit'sa new game. We've played well without dominating."
Meanwhile, England all-rounder AndrcwFlintoffwill play in thefourth Tbst after passing a fitness test
Flintoff tore a side muscle during the third Tpst, but captain Michael Vaughan told a news conference on Wednesday that he would be ready tobowi in Johannesburg.
However, former South Africa vice-captain Boucher says it will feel like his Tbst debut if he plays against England in the fourth Test on Thursday.
Boucher, capped 76 times, has not figured in the scries after being left out of the first Test in favour of Tsolckile and subsequently De Villiers.
"I was prepared to work for a long time -- a couple of years — to get back into the team, so it was a big surprise to get back at this stage. But I guess the selectors looked at my experience and felt they needed it," Bouchertoldreporterson Tuesday.
"In a way it will be like my debut all over again, except it’s more excit-ing-Ifcellikeayoungstcr again."
Boucher, who is approaching 3000Test runs, said he was sure when the 20-year-old de Villiers came into the side that his chances of playing in
the current serieshad gone.
"I rate AB (deVillicrs) as a serious player with a lot of talent and flair and when he kept wicket I started to feel dropped and out of the loop," Boucher said. "It was tough watching the guys playing while I was on thebcach.”
Boucher and DeVillicrs are likely toplay in the fourth Test
"I know what it takes to perform at international level and I can lift my game when necessary," he said. "I feel in form, I'm hitting the ball well and I've had lots of starts - 40s and 60s - in domestic cricket”
