Australia vs South Africa

THE hottest thing in world cricket is pace sensation Dale Steyn and South Africa coach Mickey Arthur says the young quick set to take on Australia has "unbelievable potential".
The 25-year-old right-armer - who is yet to play a Test against Australia - can bowl outswingers at 150km/h and tops the 2008 wicket-taking list with 60 scalps in 11 Tests.

Critics have already attacked Steyn, saying he's yet to prove himself against Australia.

Arthur says the first Test at the bouncy WACA pitch in Perth will give the Australian public the chance to see just how Steyn has been able to claim 136 wickets at 22.67 in 27 matches.

England back in India

ECB set to confirm India Test series will go ahead
• England's security inspection in Chennai is completed
• Team expected to fly to India at end of week via Abu Dhabi

The England and Wales Cricket Board expects to confirm within hours that the Test series of India will go ahead after the completion of a security inspection in Chennai. The ECB remains confident despite the febrile atmosphere surrounding the tour that the bulk of the squad will accept the security report that a tour of India remains legitimate and will decide to travel.

Reg Dickason, the ECB's security adviser, completed today what appeared to have been a satisfactory inspection of the Chidambaran Stadium, the new venue for the first Test on December 11. He told Press Trust of India: "We had some security concerns and these have been addressed." Dickason now flies on to Mohali, venue for the second Test, and a similar outcome is expected within 48 hours.
