Smith to put off surgery

DURBAN: South African captain Graeme Smith said he was planning to have his elbow surgery only after the series against Australia at home next month.

“Australia are hurting and they are going to come back hard at us. I am really looking forward to being involved in the Test series back home,” Smith said. — PTI
