The absence of a genuine allrounder continues to haunt South Africa as they try to balance a long enough batting line-up with a sufficiently complete bowling pack. So far, they are shortchanging themselves in both departments.With seven specialist batsmen, South Africa can only accommodate a four-person attack, which has left JP Duminy and Farhaan Behardien to share the rest of the bowling duties. In two matches, they have cost South Africa 155 runs and claimed one wicket, and only contributed 86 runs with the bat, leaving South Africa to contemplate a change of personnel, especially with Chris Morris and David Wiese in the squad as well.Should South Africa lose in Centurion, it will be the first time since 2001-02 that they have conceded a home Test and ODI series to the same opposition on the same tour and will only open up more questions about the state of the game in a country where the spotlight is on development.
