To combat the defending champions, the South African team management has brought in experience worth 26,845 runs and 602 wickets at the international level.
The runs are combined of what Messrs Gary Kirsten and Mike Hussey have scored at the international level across formats, while the wickets are Allan Donald's collection during his 12 years in international cricket.
In fact, Hussey, who would again be playing in the eighth edition of IPL for Chennai Super Kings, was keeping a close eye on the batsmen, especially the likes of JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock as they were playing the spinners at the nets.
A couple of left-arm spinners were seen bowling as Duminy and De Kock, along with Hashim Amla when they were batting in the nets.
One of the net bowlers of Indian origin was asked if there was any specific instruction from the coaches, he smiled and said, "I have been told to try and bowl exactly what Ravindra Jadeja bowls".
