South Africa were let down by their skills in a team record 243-run loss to hosts India
at the Cricket World Cup on Sunday, but with a semi-final place already booked there will be no panic in the camp, says coach Rob Walter.
“They are a hell of a team, very well-balanced and highly skilled. There’s no way around it. They’ve won every game and they’ve won them well.” The side have five dominant wins batting first, easily passing 300 on each occasion but have lost to the Netherlands and India chasing, and scraped home by one wicket against Pakistan having been set 271 to win.“We have been able to swing the ball, the new ball, and most of the time we’ve been doing it at night . Bowling first, there wasn’t as much swing as we’ve been used to,” he said.
Should his side meet India again in the tournament, Walter says there is no reason why they cannot win.
