REPLACEMENT FOR INJURED STEYN
Will Domingo opt for Morkel or Abbott?
Teams who win as convincingly as SA did against Australia in the first Test at the Waca do not often contemplate changes. But the visitors do not have a choice — they have to replace Dale Steyn for the second Test at Bellerive Oval in Hobart‚ which starts on Saturday. Australia are in the same boat‚ with opening batsman Shaun Marsh ruled out because of a broken finger. The home side’s woes could yet deepen, depending on the results of scans Peter Siddle was due to have on Tuesday after complaining of a sore back. The Waca match was Siddle’s first Test after he suffered a stress fracture of the back in February.
