Proteas looking to embarrass Australia.

(From The Journal)

ASHWELL Prince has warned Australia that South Africa will be going for a clean sweep when the two teams meet in the third Test in Sydney.

The Proteas vice-captain has only given himself a 60% chance of playing in the Test due to a thumb injury which has kept him out of the series so far.

If he is to sit out again, Prince's absence would not dent the confidence of South Africa after victory in Melbourne on Tuesday dealt Australia their first Test series defeat on home soil since 1992-93.

"We have come a long way as a team," Prince said. "We have won in most countries in the last year to 18 months.

"The guys are very confident of their own ability and very proud of what they have achieved and we are looking forward to build on that and go from strength to strength.

"The captain has already said that Australia set the standard over a decade and obviously we don't want to dip after winning one series. We want to sustain that level of performance for a long period of time."
