South Africa vs Australia
Words for South Africa coach Mickey Arthur after SA losing the test series with Australia "This is not a train smash," Arthur said. "Now is a time for cool heads. We have to think clearly and rationally in terms of strategy and reflect on our recent performances and how we can improve on them. It sets you back a little in the immediate term. But in the long-term, I think it might actually do us some good. This will force players to sit down, reflect and focus. We must now dig deep, and that goes for everyone, including Graeme (Smith) and myself.
"Things have been hunky-dory for ten or so series and two years. Players like Morne Morkel, Paul Harris and even Hashim Amla and Dale Steyn have never really felt what it's like to lose a Test series. As strong as any cricketer is, I think they have to know that pain of losing to be complete. It is a real driving force for the great players. The nucleus of our squad is still there, and it's a very strong one. I think we will bounce back from this in the not too distant future."
Australia Squad for limited over match with South Africa.
