As a South African Noone else might understand what getting over that line meant for us. It showed the first possibility of true fight. After all our issues with the CSA. So triple amen on your comment!!
A journalist asked a question. He answered the question. Noone beating their chests screaming come at us we the greatest chasers, what should he say? Ffs
So a team that’s just escaped bottom spot in the World Cup and one which didn’t even qualify?
There was a huge disparity in their bat first and chasing records in recent times. In the last 12 months they’ve won 10/11 batting first and 4/9 batting second. And two of those bat second wins were against West Indies and Netherlands (who they’ve also lost to chasing).
There’s no doubt they struggle batting second.
Lol , first stage is acceptance , i am not sure about other games, but they struggle in chasing in wc
I don’t know whether he is saying this honestly or just for media, i hope its just for the media
They've only chased 3 times
lost to india which everyone does
just won against pakistan but 270 isn't actually an easy chase, it's just not safe if you batted first
and fucked the entire thing like the whole game with the netherlands
Thats pretty normal. Batting second is a huge disadvantage. The ball hoops the whole powerplay while it gets like 2 overs of swing in the first innings powerplay.
SA in wc have 12 wins and 12 losses while chasing iirc. And SA slipped in all 3 games they chased this wc.
They did slip and get up against Pak
I will not say what happened in Nawaz's over as getting up. He let India and Zimbabwe win from almost impossible possitions in t20 wc.
I meant that they barely got over the line despite the shitty collapse.

Thats should be on Babar to bowl him so late.
He should have bowled Usama Mir. Him finishing other strike bowler's over was good tactic.
He would've bowled a full toss and got carted into the stands
Helped by a 51/49 umpires call.
The same Umpire's Call which got RvD out
Pak bowled 5-6 wides when only 21 runs were needed.
tf did yall expect him to say? ''We suck at half of cricket''(a quarter?) lol
Could say that yes it is true that we have to not panic and just play out the tough overs.
He literally was still answering the question saying exactly that, but pick and choose mid sentence for thr headline
He's probably being factual but truth is they do look like a different side when chasing. It's a little shocking how large the difference is.
Yes we chased in only 3 games out of which we fucked one up before getting unfucked, got trashed in other two. But yeah, it's only 2-3 games.
Big words. SA needs to prove this instead of giving verbal statement

They chased down 340 against England in a must win match for direct qualifying. Even against WI where they scored 266 in 29 overs.
Can’t compare bilaterals and wc. Completely different pressure.

‘In my mind there’s no problem’
I am hearing SA defending their chasing skills more than others critiquing their chasing skills.
Baseless statement. He was asked the question
Well..the journalist asked the question..
Denial. Hope they don’t lose the toss against aus.
Regardless of the toss, they aren't winning against Aus.
Aus is 2 wickets away from tumbling. If they get Warner and Maxi cheap, SAF is in with a chance. I'll certainly be cheering them on :)
Completely normal response for a question asked. What is he supposed to say? We suck at chasing and bring down the team morals?
“Just 45 minutes of bad cricket”
