Should be back early next year, but to be honest i doubt he'll even be the same player he was before the injury and i'd rather give our young pacers a chance, we've got Jason Holder, Shannon Gabriel and Nelon Pascal (who'll probably get his chance in this series) doing well for the A-team so i'd expect one of those to be a fixture in our bowling unit by the time Fidel is fit.
As for this series, in the short games it's a toss up really, the tests will be very interesting though, it will be our first under Gibson and we put up a spirited showing in our last two tests against the Aussies, no doubt the likes of Steyn, Morkel, Amla and Kallis will be hard to overcome but on the other hand i'm confident we'll have a spell where we make them look average, and it's whether we take advantage of that moment that could make all the difference in the end.
