South Africa skipper Graeme Smith will miss the Twenty20 and one-day matches against Australia in an attempt to recover from a chronic elbow injury.

Smith will fly home after the third and final Test but is expected play in the three-Test home series against Australia, which starts in February.

How much do you think this will affect the Saffers chances? Personally, with Hashim Amla the most likely to replace him (I think), they shouldn't be too affected, although it will be a blow without his captaincy and experience.

Oh Oh a bit loss to the South Africas but with a weak aussie attack hopefully they will be ok

Big loss as a captain and a destructive opener.

This makes it easy for their selectors. Smith out, Prince in and AB opens the batting with Amla at 3
