In KimberleyBrace yourself, Northern Cape cricket fans, the Proteas might reserve one of their most exciting but mercurial bowling attacks for Wednesday's final ODI against England here at the Oval.Rotation has been the name of the game for South Africa in this series, clinched already two days ago in Bloemfontein, and there's little indication the practice will change now.In fact, a four-pronged group of Marco Jansen, Sisanda Magala, Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj were the only members of the squad to inspect what seemed a standard dry surface as well as send down a few deliveries on the adjacent practice strip.That would suggest a bowling arsenal brimming with game-breaking ability is indeed in the offing though, with the exception of Magala in the first ODI, none of the other three has boasted particularly impressive figures.But the prospect of all of them getting it right is an enticing one.READ | Bavuma says resting Magala, Rabada for 2nd England ODI was part of series planAs an insurance policy, Wayne Parnell - who is recovering from a blow to his foot - and Lungi Ngidi could be deployed too.Anrich Nortje is unlikely to play as he's already featured in both previous matches, while Kagiso Rabada's duty for MI Cape Town when the SA20 resumes on Thursday evening could see him rather prepare for that.Regardless, Proteas stalwart David Miller is excited about the prospect of a tinkered team gunning for a 3-0 series whitewash."For sure, we don't ever want to be a team that sits behind the veil of seeing just how guys perform.

We're ultimately here to win," said the steely finisher, who masterminded South Africa's record 343-run chase at the death in Bloemfontein last Sunday."We want to win the series 3-0.
