Kaizer Chiefs captain and goalkeeper Brian Baloyi said on Tuesday that he was looking forward to the international friendly against former world champions England in Durban and that he was aiming to keep a clean sheet on the day.

Speaking to SkySports from the training ground, Captain Spider said the game was more than just a friendly. "This is my chance to showcase my talent against the likes of Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and David Beckham," said Baloyi.

The return of veteran defender Lucas Radebe means that Baloyi will probably be vice-captain on the day. "All I want to do is keep a clean sheet on the day," he said.

Baloyi added that the game was also more important to South Africa in winning more friends in the bid to host the 2010 World Cup.

"This (game) is not only about displaying our ability to host major events like the World Cup but also to show that we can match some of the best teams in the world like England."
