http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726 de Villiers, has backed spinner Robin Peterson to perform well in the just to begin ICC Champions Trophy, commencing in England on June 6, 2013.
“I believe http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mahbubul-Alam-c73802 is a very good spin bowler. He's been around a long time. He's actually surprised a lot of people in the last few years with the amount of wickets he's taken,” said de Villiers while speaking to media reporters in London on Monday.
“He's a wicket taker for us, so that always makes him a dangerous bowler. It's just a matter of me finding the right time for the spinners to have the biggest impact on the game,” added the Proteas skipper.
Peterson, the 33-year-old Cape Province-born, boasts an above average record in England. The slow left-arm orthodox bowler, who plays English county for Derbyshire, has so far played five One Day Internationals in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, in Colombo, and has to date played 68 ODIs claiming 67 wickets at an average of 34.28 and an economy rate of 4.82.
