More torment for South Africans as MacGill added to squad

Sydney, December 30: Australia may throw the terror-spin twins Shane Warne and Stuart MacGill at the demoralized South Africans in Wednesday's final cricket Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Leg-spinner MacGill was Sunday added to the Australian squad, which has been boosted to 13.

Australia are chasing a 3-0 whitewash having secured the series with a nine-wicket win at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.

``We've got the momentum going our way and we've got a good record in Sydney,'' Waugh said Sunday.

``I don't know what the wicket's going to be like but I'd like to think there'll be a bit of turn.

``We're playing good cricket. I'd like to win it three-nil.''

The omens are there for two wrist-spinners to play in Sydney. So far Warne has taken 11 wickets in the series and MacGill claimed nine for New South Wales in the tour match against the Proteas here last week.

MacGill is sure the SCG pitch will take spin and that he can operate in tandem with Warne.

``The pitch I took nine wickets on against the South Africans at the SCG had no grass on it at all, but one thing I have found over the years is that it always turns at the SCG whether there is grass on the surface or not,'' MacGill said Sunday.

He thought his attacking style could complement the pressure exerted by Warne and Glenn McGrath.

``The last time I bowled with Shane in a Test at the SCG (against England in 1998-99) a feature of that seemed to be that they were really concentrating on keeping him out,'' he said.

``If there's someone at the other end who has an aura about them, like Shane or Glenn McGrath, then you find it makes your job a whole lot easier.

``As Shane has enjoyed some success in this series already I'm hoping that will be the case again if I'm selected.''
