http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DW-Steyn-c1409 all set to play the final group match – Cricket News
South Africa’s spearhead, Dale Steyn, has recovered from injury and is all set to play his team’s last group match of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 tomorrow.
The right-arm pacer, who is considered to be one of the finest fast bowlers of the modern era, faced side strain during South Africa’s warm-up match against Pakistan. Consequently, the 29-year-old cricketer missed the initial two
group matches against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 respectively.
In order to qualify for the semi-finals of the all-important competition, the Proteas will have to beat West Indies tomorrow at Cardiff.
Mohammed Moosajee, South Africa's team manager, who is also a doctor, revealed that Steyn is fit once again and unless he feels discomfort once again, the cricketer from Phalaborwa should be playing against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 and company
tomorrow.
"http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Dale-c52110 is progressing quite well. He came through his net session today without any discomfort," said the team manager. "We will watch him overnight to see if he wakes up with any stiffness. If he comes through tomorrow's practice
then he should be available."
South Africa’s bowling attack will surely be bolstered by the return of their premier fast bowler and the team management would be hoping that Steyn can curtail the progress of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 and other destructive batsmen from the
Caribbean.
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Russell-c87177 Domingo, the Proteas’ assistant coach, is surprised that the fast bowlers are not getting the desired assistance in the air or off the pitch in the tournament. He feels that the spinners are going to
play an important role in the later stages of the competition.
"Everyone expected the ball to swing a bit more than it has. Maybe because of the cold conditions, the ball hasn't done as much as we thought," Domingo mentioned. "I know they are saying this is quite a dry June, so that's showing
in the wickets. The spinners are in the game big time.
South African spinners, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/JP-Duminy-c1742, played a crucial role in their team’s success against Pakistan, while defending a mediocre total of 234 runs at Birmingham.
