Speaking to the media, leading up to South Africa’s training session on Thursday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), Domingo said, “He will have a run out today. He has had a little bit of sinusitis, nothing too serious or too much to be concerned about. The rooms in Christchurch were especially cold with a lot off air going in. I am sure a lot off you guys had some sniffs and stuff — nothing there to be too concerned about.” READ: South Africa go cautious on Vernon Philander’s fitness
