Graeme Smith

Arthur is anticipating the likely Test side will be fielded in the three day game with Middlesex starting at Uxbridge on Friday.Skipper Graeme Smith (hamstring), all-rounder Jacques Kallis (elbow) and opening batsman Hashim Amla (groin) are all expected to be fit.Arthur said: "Jacques is fine. He will play against Middlesex. At this stage, we would probably want to put out our Test line-up in the game at Uxbridge."Graeme is well on course, came through a net this morning, looked like he hadn't been out of the nets. He got forward, got back and played well
"Hashim hurt a groin, just a slight groin strain, when he batted. There was no point in risking it. If it had been a Test, he would certainly have been out there fielding and batting as well."He will get another couple of knocks at Uxbridge.
