Smith injures knee ahead of semi final clash
South African captain Graeme Smith has a minor knee injury ahead of the team’s semi final clash against World Champions Australia on Wednesday.
Smith hurt his knee while fielding in the match against England that enabled South Africa to qualify for the semi final. According to a team spokesman, Smith did not play a full part in Saturday’s training session.
“He has a niggle and thus didn’t train as intensively,” the team spokesperson told Reuters, adding that Smith was advised by team physio Shane Jabbar to manage the problem through rest.
South Africa, ousted by Australia in the 1999 World Cup semi final, are bidding to make it to their first-ever final of a world cup.
