Stand-in South Africa Test captain Faf du Plessis admitted Thursday that his team had been "scarred" by their mauling on spin-friendly pitches in India last year. Du Plessis, who has replaced injured AB de Villiers, said South Africa would be looking to make a fresh start in the first of two Tests against New Zealand, starting at Kingsmead Friday. South Africa started the India series as the number one Test team but have slipped to seventh after losing 3-0 against India and 2-1 at home against England, as well as losing points from past triumphs. Du Plessis said the return of bowling kingpins Dale Steyn and Vernon Philander would make a "huge" difference to the South African attack, but added that New Zealand would be tough opponents.
