"South Africa is a powerhouse when it comes to cricket but, when you enter big tournaments, does it play on your mind that the major trophy remains elusive?" the skipper asked. “I am going to put it out there straight up front. We have choked in the past
and we know about that. We have had some really bad experiences in the past but I would like to emphasise that it is past.”

“We will approach this tournament differently and we would like to win the pressure situations. We are going out there to do exactly that," he claims.
