SA Will Stage Comeback In ODI's

South Africa have had a great Australian summer. But reality is likely to hit harder as their one day team is in still work in progress.
South Africa lost the two Twenty20 internationals ahead of the one day internationals. However, coach Mickey Arthur believes that even if they do not taste as much as success as they did in the Tests when they beat Australia, the South African team will still pose a few problems as a fighting unit for the Australian team.
Arthur is quoted as telling Australian newspapers, “Even though we are building for the future, I am expecting our guys to come out firing. ‘I am expecting our guys to not stand back at all and I am expecting our guys to be hugely competitive through the one-day series.”
Johan Botha, the captain for the one day internationals in the absence of Graeme Smith, will have a tough task on his hands, including handling the subject of over rates which appeared to plague South Africa in the second Twenty20 match. But South Africa should be bolstered personnel wise after AB de Villiers, who injured his hip after an express delivery from Shaun Tait in the first Twenty20, makes a comeback.
Australia are going through a few changes themselves, most prominent among these will be the absence of Matthew Hayden who was not picked for the one day internationals and eventually announced his retirement.

The battles resume tomorrow at the MCG in Melbourne.
