Sydney, Jan. 2 : South African cricket captain Graeme Smith has taken painkillers in an attempt to make the team for the third and final Test against Australia, which is being played at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG).
According to team coach Mickey Arthur, Smith is keen to ensure a clean sweep of the series.
Arthur said that he will be risking Smith, who requires revolutionary blood injections to treat a painful elbow injury, in a ruthless bid to record a clean sweep on Australian soil.
