South Africa win/loss result on tour of Australia = WWLLLWLWWW.
Australia's win/loss result on revenge tour sofar = WWLLLWL.... 
Can you see the hoodoo? the vice-versa? the mirror image? Australia must not lose a single game from now on to finish the hoodoo while Proteas can break the mirror image if they win one of last 3 one day Internationals!Australian selectors recently announced Australia squad for Pakistan series in Middle East, resting captain Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey and Mitchell Johnson. This gives Michael Clarke the captainship, something he will not enjoy too much. Why? cause Michael Clarke is in terrible form. 7 matches on South African tour so far, Clarke has failed to perform upto the mark and becoming captain will add even more pressure on his young shoulders. Going into this 3rd MTN one day international, Australia and South Africa are locked 1-1 with 3 games to go. meaning, the team that win this game will stay in the series until the end while the one using it will find themselves in must win situation going forward. Day-Night one day international at Newlands ground in Durban don't have happy memories for the visitors. Last time they played here, were bowled out for just 93 with Makhaya Ntini taking 6 wickets. Today, Makhaya Ntini is cooling his heals as Wayne Parnell made splendid performance in previous game. Knowing the fact that Ntini has 27 wickets at the venue from 10 ODIs at an average of 10.15, Proteas might be tempted to bring back vetern seamer in place of one of fast bowlers like Morne Morkel or spinner Johan Botha. At the venue, previous 5 encounters have fetched 2 wins for Aussies and 3 for Africans and overall, this will be 75th one day international between Australia and South Africa with Aussies leading 38 to 33. Match Start time : since it's a Day-Night match, it will start 2.30pm Local South Africa time which turns into 6pm India time and 10.30pm Sydney/Melbourne. UK cricket fans can watch the live action begining on Skysports at 1.30pm while US viewers will have to wake up very early morning at around 7am to enjoy the match from start!
