South Africa have brought back spinner Imran Tahir in one of two changes to their team for this week's second Test against Australia at the Adelaide Oval.
-Australia's Watson left out for 2nd Test
Tahir was left out of the side for the drawn opening test in Brisbane to make way for debutant Rory Kleinveldt in a four-pronged pace attack.
The other change from the Gabba team sees Faf du Plessis come in for all-rounder JP Duminy, who was sidelined for six months when he ruptured his Achilles tendon during training.
The second Test starts on Thursday.
South Africa's No. 1 Test ranking is on the line in the three-match series, which concludes next week at the WACA in Perth.
Team: Graeme Smith (captain), Alviro Petersen, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers, Jacques Rudolph, Faf du Plessis, Vernon Philander, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel, Imran Tahir.
