[QUOTE="BokMagic, post: 97952"] Gibbs` ban affirmed today- he`ll definately miss the 3rd Test in Cape Town starting tomorrow. Jacques Rudolf just signed with Yorkshire for 3 years as a Kolpak player, so he`ll most likely also miss out- leaving Boeta Dippenaar in pole position to open the batting with Smith, and De Villiers to move down to no6. Also waiting anxiously to see what`ll happen wrt the resting of key SA bowlers. News from the Pakistan camp is that Akhtar and Gul have returned home in an effort to get fit for the World Cup in March, and Shabbir Ahmed and Shoaib Malik has been sent out as replacements- Ahmed will probably come in as a straight swop for Akhtar. The Newlands wicket has proven to be a conundrum over the previous 3 tests- vs Aus it was a serious green-top, vs. NZ it was an absolute featherbed, and vs. India a sub-continental dustbowl- your guess is as good as mine how it`ll play this time around. Apparently quite a good covering of grass on Wednesday, but what`ll it be like tomorrow? All in all, series tied at 1-1, hopefully both teams brings their A-games and we get a good cricket Test.
