Kallis confirmed as skipper
6:04am Friday 29th August 2008
Jacques Kallis has been confirmed as South Africa captain in the absence of the injured Graeme Smith for Friday's NatWest Series match against England at The Oval.
Smith had a meeting with a surgeon on Thursday to ascertain the prognosis on his tennis elbow problem, after which he was ruled out of the rest of the series.
Kallis, who has captained his country in seven one-day internationals since 2006, told Sky Sports News: "The pressure is on England to win the series (the hosts lead 2-0). I think it's going to be a tough couple of games."

She is based several hours’ north of us, in Salima, helping local nurses caring for and visiting people who are dying. At home Sue buys all her sugar from the charity Traidcraft – so we were looking for the co-operative who their white sugar.
