http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GC-Smith-c1473 feels envy over Duminy’s marvelous strokes
The Proteas skipper, Graeme Smith, has expressed envy and pleasure over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Netherlands-c753. Paying homage to Duminy, Smith said emotionally, “If I had played them, I could have retired happy today”.
In a match that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 won by 231 runs, Duminy, as a middle-order batsman, scored 40 from just 15 deliveries with the help of 2 fours and 4 sixes to consigne a target of 352 runs to the Dutch who were washed out for just 120. Playing straight drives,
Duminy left the whole world stunned with his imperious sixes that created thrill and throb in the end of the innings.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Smith-c90598 was so much impressed by Duminy’s strokes that he desired to do same and then end his career with his head high. Talking to the media, he overflowed with sentiments and exclaimed, “That was a terrific innings, he played some incredible shots”. The
other proteas players http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-de-Villiers-c887 also contributed 113 and 134 in the innings respectively. Smith could score only 20.
Duminy seems to be in great form during this tournament. In their World Cup opener against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760, the Proteas won by 7 wickets, Duminy scored 42 not out. In his side’s warm-up victory against Australia, Duminy cracked 47 with the help of 3 fours and
1 six. Duminy is also doing well with the ball, proving himself to be a good all-rounder.
The left-handed batsman Duminy, since his international debut in 2004, has been playing well. His marvelous 166 runs in a Test at Melbourne is indeed a sterling achievement.
The 30-years old Smith, who has already resigned from the Test captaincy, intends to retire from the ODI leadership too after playing this World Cup. But observing Duminy’s game, he wished to go out of the field forever with mountain-high pleasure and passion
if he could have done so excellent performance.
Such type of striking players are the life of cricket. It is they who are striving to keep the dying ODI format alive in front of the T20 cricket.
Commending the tremendous victory of the Proteas, the skipper of the losing Dutch, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PW-Borren-c2225, said, “That is not to say they will go on and win it, but they are a fantastic cricket team and they showed they were too good for us”.
Being one of the World Cup favourittes, South Africa has won both of its World Cup games played so far. It is going to steep into M.A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai to play a sizzling game against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, the four times World Champion, on 6 March.
