South African middle-order batsman AB de Villiers has said there will be no grudges against Australia when the two teams clash in their first ODI of the Triangular Series at Harare Sports Club here on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday before training, de Villiers laughed when told that Clarke had apologized for some of the language used by his team, especially during the third and deciding Cape Town Test in March, the last of Graeme Smith's career, reports the supersport.com website.

De Villiers said the apology was accepted, and admitted that the Test series against Australia was a hard fought one, but there were definitely no hard feelings.
