The Standard Bank Proteas are aiming for nothing less than a series whitewash ahead of the third Sunfoil Freedom Test match against India starting at the Bidvest Wanderers stadium on Wednesday. Proteas bowler, Vernon Philander, insists that the match is not a ‘dead-rubber’, but rather an opportunity to strengthen their dominance over the visitors with one eye on the ICC Test rankings. A 3-0 series win will take the Proteas level with India at the top of the ICC Test rankings – India will remain first by a decimal point- with the four-match series against Australia in March providing an opportunity for the team to topple India by the April 3rd cut-off date. The Proteas carry vital momentum following the series-clinching 135-run win at Centurion last week, and kick-started preparations at the Bullring on Monday following a well-earned four-day break.
