Eskom 'bowls out' Smith

Cape Town - Proteas captain Graeme Smith said on Thursday that he hoped the Western Province Cricket Association had made arrangements to ensure that Eskom load shedding did not affect the second one-day international against the West Indies at Newlands on Friday.
"I got back from cricket training last night and couldn't get into my house," he laughed. "I only had a garage clicker, not a front door key, so I had to go to my neighbour until the power came back on.
"So I hope Newlands have some sort of guarantee that there will be power. I know there was a generator at the Wanderers, but I don't know if Newlands have got one."
Smith said he now had a front door key in his car.
