da prosport bet： 05-May-2001South African captain Shaun Pollock put a day of travel headaches behind himas he considered the challenging awaiting his team on Grenada, theninth port of call for the tourists in a little over two months. SouthAfrica meet the West Indies in the third and fourth one-day internationalson the island on Saturday and Sunday.The team only reached their beach-side hotel outside the capital StGeorge’s at 10.30pm on Thursday. The squad were due to travel fromAntigua via Barbados and Trinidad, but delays forced a diversion direct toGrenada, an unplanned move which may have upset a few passengers, but alsoavoided total chaos.”It’s going to be hard work playing back-to-back games,” Pollock said ashe made his way to voluntary nets. “We’ve done it in Australia before but wedon’t often do it.”The heavy workload for many of the senior players is almost certain tomean that some of the players who have yet to feature in the series will geta run-out in Grenada, although Pollock himself is cheerfully resigned tofive more games before a well-earned break.”As much as we’d like to win both the games here, we also have anopportunity to rest a few guys and give opprtunities to others. We have acore of players which is unlikely to change, but we can rotate the otherguys.”I don’t know exactly what we’ll do just yet, but we need to keep somefreshness in the camp. But it’s difficult to rotate the key players.”I know I’ve got five matches left, but I’ve got three months rest afterthat!”One of the changes within the side may see Pollock try and capitalise onhis superb form with the bat. He was in fact down to come in at number sixin the second one-dayer in Antigua, but was not required to come to thecrease as Herschelle Gibbs and Jacques Kallis lead South Africa to aresounding eight wicket win to level the series.Neil McKenzie will have a fitness test on his hamstring injury, but is likely to be given an extra day to find full fitness, in theprocess allowing Boeta Dippenaar another chance in the middle-order.There are also likely to be changes in the bowling attack, with RogerTelemachus and Allan Donald both sitting out one of the games this weekend.Makhaya Ntini and Justin Kemp are the men most likely to profit.South Africa (possible): Gary Kirsten, Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis,Jonty Rhodes, Boeta Dippenaar, Lance Klusener, Mark Boucher, Shaun Pollock,Justin Ontong, Roger Telemachus, Makhaya Ntini.
