"Captain Courageous" Graeme Smith returns to the South African team today, to lead the Proteas to a hopeful series victory, carrying on with their success after the Down Under tour. The historical stats are not in South Africa's favour at this ground, as the Aussies have won the 4 of the ODI's played here, while the Proteas have only won 2.

The Proteas need to carry on with their fantastic short game style of playing, after beating the Aussies in the 2 Pro20 games earlier this week.

Jacques Kallis takes a break after failing to pass a fitness test, while Makhaya Ntini & Morne Morkel are back to help bolster the bowling line up.

The Aussies haven't made any changes to their standard one day outfit, but Mitchell Johnson is rearing to go and will be looking to swing the ball in the "muggy" Durban conditions.

The Durban skyline is covered with scatterings of cloud, but the rain should hopefully stay away after a few scattered showers earlier this morning.
