If there is one newcomer Australians could think of besides David Warner at the moment, it would be JP Duminy. If a half-century in a record chase, a century to set up a win and two valiant knocks in the Twenty20 games were not enough proof of his talent, his stunning catch in the outfield in the Brisbane Twenty20 showed there is plenty to expect from this South African.

Mickey Arthur believes there is more to come, and one cannot be certain if the South Africa coach is just playing mind-games. "He has the ability to take wickets any time he comes on to bowl, so I think he has the potential to play a bigger role with the ball during the one-day series," Arthur told the Herald Sun. "Don't be surprised if he bowls quite a few overs."

Duminy has shown he can do the trick when the other bowlers fail, having got rid of Michael Clarke, who had made a century by then in the Sydney Test, off his fourth ball in the five-day format.
