Arthur still to decide on final team for last ODI


Proteas coach Mickey Arthur says he's still undecided on which team he'll field in the fifth and final one-day international against Australia at the Wanderers.

South Africa wrapped up the series with a crushing 61 run win in the fourth ODI in Port Elizabeth yesterday.

Herschelle Gibbs came good in an emphatic way, scoring a majestic 110 to lead South Africa to a total of 317 - 6.

In reply, the Baggy Greens were bowled out for 256. Arthur says he's chuffed with the team's per! formance.

"We are very happy, it's something we worked quite hard at and to end our summer in this way is fantastic for us.

Arthur added they will be looking to finish Australia off on Friday.

"Something that we have spoken about a lot is when we have our opponents dead and buried we must go for the jugular. I have been so happy with the way the guys did it and the last three games have been perfect examples of that."
