Du Plessis aims to use Australian disarray to South Africa's advantage
Smith and vice-captain David Warner were banned for 12 months and Cameroon Bancroft for nine months for attempted ball tampering during the third Test in Cape Town last Saturday.
The series between South Africa and Australia has seen players called into the referee's room at the end of each match, while Du Plessis and the Proteas team have demanded more consistency and clarity in the application of the ICC's Code of Conduct.
While he has undoubtedly been superb in controlling emotions in the Proteas changeroom, Du Plessis has also been outstanding in his dealings with the voracious media contingent that has followed this series, and which has grown accustomed to being fed fresh, raw meat every day. "In this series the ball has been reversing quite a bit". I think it's unfair for me to comment on what they think.
"We try to do the same".
"I think it s overdue".
Du Plessis confirmed that South Africa would play the same team as in Cape Town, largely because the Wanderers pitch is a lot dryer than usual, brown-tinged rather than green, and could turn and provide inconsistent bounce when days four and five arrive.
Smith and du Plessis formed a bond with during their stint as Indian Premier League teammates.

On the eve of the fourth Test in Johannesburg, Du Plessis spoke on the situation and said that he had expressed his support for Smith, describing him as "one of the good guys" in cricket.
Now the tables have turned, with du Plessis suggesting Smith is being harshly treated in several senses.
"I think he s one of the good guys and he s just been caught in a bad place", said Du Plessis, who has twice been found guilty of ball tampering himself, but was only fined and never banned.
"I can understand it's a really tough time for him to be in now".
"I know as a leader he would have tried to have his identity put into the Australian team and perhaps now that chance has been taken away from him, that's not nice". He appreciated the message. "There's a lot for us to work with". The Australian bowling unit remains intact but there will be three enforced changes in the batting line-up as the tourists seek to avoid the first series loss by Australia in South Africa since Ali Bacher led the team then known as the Springboks to a 4-0 clean sweep in 1969/70.
Faf also went on to reveal the message he sent to Steve Smith and the latter reacted to it in a positive way, "I just sent him a message of support saying that he'll get through this, he must just be strong". I have compassion for what he's going through.
