Smith's defence of his attack

South Africa captain Graeme Smith believes his team have answered questions about the quality of their attack after winning the Test series 2-0 in the West Indies.

"The bowlers stepped up when it counted," Smith said. "I don't think anyone was questioning our ability to score runs. The main question was how we were going to take 20 wickets but Andre Nel and Makhaya Ntini created the inroads for us."

Between them fast bowlers Nel and Ntini took 34 of the 54 West Indian wickets to fall in the four-match series.

The teams begin a five-match one-day series in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday.
