South African Cricket TeamProfile for South African team
A team that is hungry for success with the real strength. South Africa is a very strong team that hasn’t won any event that is organized by ICC (International Cricket Council). Even though they are the strong team since their comeback in 1992, they have failed to perform in the big games like semi finals and finals. South African team is full with the batting talents like AB DeVilliers, JP Duminy and skipper Graeme Smith himself. The bowling department is relying on the impressive performers like Dale Styen, Makhaya Ntini and the team has most successful all rounder of the decade, Jacques Kallis. South African team always comes into the tournament as one of the favorites to win the World Cup. South African team is praised by all for their fielding. According to the experts, it is very hard to break the off-side field in the presence of Herschel Gibbs, AB DeVilliers and JP Duminy.
The biggest issue with the team is their inability to handle the pressure in semi finals and finals. In 1999, South Africa lost their spot from the finals due to the tie with Australian team. In all and all, South Africa is a title hungry team that can defeat any opponent with ease.
