South Africa all-rounder Lance Klusener has one last chance to prove his value to the side in the five one-day internationals against Sri Lanka starting at the Wanderers on Wednesday.Klusener, who was the player of the tournament at the 1999 World Cup in England, has failed to reach similar heights in the past two seasons and his place is now in doubt for the forthcoming World Cup which starts in February in South Africa.He was dropped for the recent one-day series against Bangladesh and struggled for form during the Morocco Cup in August. "We know what he is capable of doing so it’s not a case of him having to prove his ability, but he has to show form with the World Cup looming," South Africa coach Eric Simons said."Lance has reached a stage where we must try and give him as much time as possible to get him ready for the World Cup."Make no mistake, as hosts we are going to be under the most pressure and we are going to need players in form and players who can deal with that pressure." South Africa defeated Sri Lanka 2-0 in their Test series but lost three successive matches to the same opponents at the Morocco Cup. "They are better at one-day cricket in our conditions and they have a tried and tested line-up," Simons said.
