Lightning may not strike the same spot twice but bad fortune seems to be able to find South Africa several times, particularly on tours of Australia. There was a hand niggle to Kepler Wessels in the 1993-4 series and an elbow concern with Jacques Kallis in 2005-6, but neither of those had the ramifications of injuries suffered during their three most recent tours Down Under.2008-09On the morning of the first Test in Perth, Ashwell Prince was ruled out with a broken thumb, leaving South Africas middle order without one of its most level heads. Prince was struck by Makhaya Ntini in the nets the day before the game and underwent a morning fitness test but his discomfort in holding the bat meant JP Duminy had to debut.Duminy had not set the ODI stage alight and was considered technically deficient against the short ball and spin but stunned doubters with a gutsy half-century in the fourth innings to win the match. He topped up on that with 166 in Melbourne, to keep Prince out of the side and secure a first series win for South Africa in Australia.2012-13During fitness drills at the end of the first days play in Brisbane, JP Duminy slipped and ruptured an Achilles tendon, ruling him out of action for six months. Duminy was picked as an allrounder in the match after South Africa decided to field an all-pace attack so they were both a batsman and bowler short in the game, but with a rained-out second day, it did not matter much.Faf du Plessis replaced Duminy for the second Test, blocked out an entire day, and scored a second-innings century on debut in a show of extreme stoicism to ensure the Adelaide Test was drawn and South Africa sucked the momentum out of Australia. They won the series in Perth.2016-17Forty-two minutes before lunch on the second day, Dale Steyn went down on his haunches in his follow-through and clutched his right shoulder in pain. He left the field with Australia 166 for 1, just 76 runs behind. Steyn had some history with that shoulder - he broke it late in 2015 - and missed three of the four Tests against England as a result. Even before the diagnosis was made, it seemed Steyn would not be back.Vernon Philander, Kagiso Rabada and Keshav Maharaj combined to bowl Australia out for 244, conceding a lead of only two. The three-man attack will have to do just as well a second time if South Africa are to take a series lead. It has not been decided who will replace Steyn in the squad - they already have two reserve quicks in Morne Morkel and Kyle Abbott - but whoever is called up could see this as their chance to establish themselves as Duminy and du Plessis did on previous tours. Steyn is likely to require surgery and could be out of the game for six months. Dennis Byrd Womens Jersey .

Few players have more to lose if NSW suffer a 3-0 series defeat in State of Origin III than Blake Ferguson.The Sydney Roosters star is one of several new players Laurie Daley has drafted into his Blues side for this series as the coach seeks to re-energise his side.Ferguson made his Origin debut in 2013 but didnt appear the Blues again until this year due to his off field dramas.Daley counts him as one of 11 new players, the 10 others are rookies, he has brought into the Blues side over this season and last.But two underwhelming efforts in game one and game two has Ferguson under the pump.If Brett Morris hadnt ruled him self out of game three, Ferguson could have been dumped by Daley in favour of the Canterbury star who has scored seven tries in three games since his return from a long-term knee injury.Ferguson, 26, struggled to get involved in the Blues series-ending game two defeat in Brisbane last week.He managed just six runs for 42m, while his fellow backk five made far more of an impression.ddddddddddddNSWs other winger Josh Mansour made 122m from 15 runs, Dylan Walker made 84m from 12 runs, Matt Moylan made 77m from 12 runs. Even Michael Jennings who endured one of his worst performances made 110m from 13 runs.Ferguson was on the defensive when questioned about his Origin efforts this year.I dont think there is anything wrong with how I am playing, that is what you blokes (the media) have been saying, Ferguson said.I am happy with how I am playing.Ferguson will be boosted by his reunion with friend and former Canberra teammate Josh Dugan on NSWs right side.St George Illawarra star Dugan missed Origin I and II with an elbow injury after the pair played together in the Kangaroos win over the Kiwis earlier this year.We are good mates and we always enjoy playing together, Dugan said.
