http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 – 3rd ODI – Toss Report
Having already earned a 1-1 stalemate at the proceeding 3-match One Day International (ODI) series; the Proteas are set to take on the Australian tourists in the competition’s finale, scheduled to kick off today, October 28, 2011, at the Kingsmead stadium,
at Durban.
Hoping to make an early use of the Durban turf, South African stand-in Captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/HM-Amla-c1557, has won the toss and will be batting first – with a probable chance of rain-hit conditions later in the day.
The fixture, which has already been billed as a nail biting affair, comes with a vital importance for both the sides – as the South African Skipper would aim to mark a series win against the Aussies, which will come as his first triumphant assignment with
the side as their newly found leader.
On other hand, Australia’s Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, will have his hopes set on the youth-oriented squad to deliver another potent performance against the hosts, having already marked a victory at the series opener on October 19, 2011.
As for the rosters, the South African line-up remains unchanged since the last (second ODI) game, and will once again kick off with the talented top order, built on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JP-Duminy-c1742 – followed by the middle-order trio of David
Miller, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MV-Boucher-c2048.
On the other hand, holding a potent bowling arsenal, Skipper Amla will once again have to bank on his fast bowling spearheads, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/M-Morkel-c73528. The pair will once again be complemented by medium pacer,

Coming to down under side, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RT-Ponting-c2377 and Skipper
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Clarke-c51120 piling up the remaining top order.
Under the batting department, Aussie young gun, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Iftikhar-Ali-Khan-Pataudi-Nawab-of-c64075 Cummins will have another vital role to play for the side, having already earned some consistent wickets on the last two matches, including his series opening debut match.
The youngster will also be in association with Dough Bollinger, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945.
