Terbrugge a doubtful starter for Second Test

JOHANNESBURG - Wednesday December 9th
South Africa Seam bowler David Terbrugge failed his fitness test
yesterday and is a doubtful starter for the 2nd test match against the
West Indies which starts tomorrow. Terbrugge strained a side muscle
during the 1st test, and the SA team management requested that his
provinical side, Gauteng, rest him last weekend as a precaution.
Team physiotherapist Craig Smith pronounced Terbrugge "only 80 percent
fit". Captain Hansie Cronje added "if he is not completely fit he
will not play."
No replacement has been announced. Lance Klusener, whose own fitness
is still not certain, or Makhaya Ntini are the most likely candidates.
