Hhhhmmmm

It was something I warned about at the start of the tour and it looks like its my concerns were justified...

Injuries are mounting in the SA camp - although surprisingly it seems to be the batters and not the bowlers who are picking up the knocks at the moment - and this poses a problem over the next three months.

Graeme Smith and Mark Boucher have now had their tours cut short while Jacques Kallis and Vaughn Van Jaarsveld are nursing strains. AB DeVilliers is also probably still feeling a little tender after the blow he took recently.

There's a lot of HARD cricket still to be played and squad depth is going to become increasingly important - which was why I argued that Makhaya Ntini and Dale Steyn shouldn't be bowling in all these games and Kallis shouldering a major batting and bowling role for EVERY game...

The last thing SA can afford is to see the likes of Ntini, Steyn, Kallis or Morne Morkel not available for the home leg of the test series....
