The Standard Bank Proteas are expecting some home grown conditions when they take on Australia in match seven of the Tri-Nation One-Day International (ODI) series at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados on Sunday. Proteas all-rounder, Chris Morris, says the local conditions look similar to those of his former home ground, the Bidvest Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg.The ground last hosted an ODI in 2001, a rain affected match where the hosts beat Pakistan by one run. South Africa have only played three matches at the venue, the last being against England during the ICC Cricket World Cup in 2007. AB de Villiers and his players will have one eye on the final as they prepare for the match, with victory on Sunday set to secure the team a place in the June 26 climax.Morris has put in a lot of work into his bowling over the last few months, and credits his consistency during the series to the work he has put in behind the scenes. While his clean hitting abilities can’t be faltered, following his cameo of 40 runs off 26 balls in the previous match, he says it’s pleasing to see some of the rewards from his work with the ball.
