Smith might miss 3rd match
Filed Under Cricket
South Africa captain Graham Smith is a serious doubt for the third one-day match against England on Friday as he continues to suffer from tennis elbow. The 27-year-old has played through the pain in the last two one-day encounters and is in need of resting the injury.
Jacques Kallis is expected to deputise at The Oval where the tourists must win to keep the five-game series alive. The all-rounder quit the vice-captaincy last year after he was axed from the Proteas’ Twenty20 squad. Kallis has captained his country in the past, filling in for Smith on two separate occasions in 2006 and 2007 and taking charge of seven one-day internationals.
South Africa have lost the opening two matches of the series, the latest a humiliating 10-wicket defeat at Trent Bridge after the tourists could only score 83.
