While most of the South African squad will try to exploit Sri Lanka's weaknesses in the upcoming three-Test series, at least one of them will be concentrating on the opposition's biggest strength. Left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj is keen to learn as much as he can from his counterpart, Rangana Herath, a man he lists among his heroes.For now, Maharaj has been in consultation with another senior, Paul Harris, who he contacted ahead of his maiden series in Australia. Back then, Harris spoke to Maharaj about "dealing with (foreign) conditions". This time, Harris' advice is about how to play at home and the primary focus is on patience.That kind of strategy suggests South Africa may have gone back to seeing their spinner as being a container rather than a wicket-taker, although conditions at St George's Park could demand otherwise. It is likely to be the slowest and driest of the three surfaces and may bring Maharaj into the game a little more.
