Jonty Rhodes and David Terbrugge both have niggling minor
injuries in the aftermath of the first Test of the South
Africa/West Indies series.
Terbrugge sustained a side strain during his debut Test match and
will not play for Gauteng this weekend. Terbrugge said that he
felt the strain during the match but that it was not serious
enough to trouble him.
``It made me cut down my pace a little,'' said Terbrugge, ``but that
may have been a good thing because it made me concentrate on
keeping a good line and length.''
Rhodes has a side strain and will not play for Kwa Zulu Natal in
tonight's Standard Bank league match. It is expected that he will
be declared fit for Friday's Standard Bank fixture.
West Indian batsman Jimmy Adams will soon be flying home.
Adams cut his right hand during the West Indian team's flight
from London to Johannesburg. Although two tendons in the hand had
been damaged it was hoped that the injury would heal by
Christmas. Adams has kept fit - trainer Dennis Waight devised a
special training routine for him - but the injury is not healing
as fast as was hoped and Adams will now leave the tour party and
return to the Caribbean.
