Aussies for format switch
April 01, 2009 00:00:00
Ricky Ponting has arrived in Durban ahead of Friday's first one-day international confident that Australia can turn around their form after losing the Twenty20 series 2-0. The squad will train Wednesday and Thursday at Kingsmead, where some of the players enjoyed wrapping up the Test series victory less than a month ago.
Shane Harwood and David Warner have flown home after the Twenty20 matches while South Africa have also named a slightly different group for the 50-over format. They are hoping to have Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis available after they missed the Twenty20s through injury and Ponting felt the changes would mean a fresh start for both teams. -Cricinfo
