Graeme Smith says that he is prepared for the world cup
South African Captain, Graeme Smith has said that he is prepared for the world cup. The World Cup has finally started and every country is quite focused in giving their best in this mega event. There are three African teams in the world cup and South Africa
is clearly the odd one out within these three teams.
South Africa has always delivered a good performance in the World cup and they have also maintained a good record during the tournament. However, their Quest for the world cup title has evaded the Proteas and they have managed to give it all away in important
phases of the tournament. Graeme Smith would be leading the South African side into the world cup and he seems motivated to pulling off a good performance during the world cup.
Graeme Smith said “I feel I am best prepared going into this tournament as I have been throughout my career. I am just excited to be able to lead the guys”. It is quite important for the Captain to act as a source of inspiration for his team mates. The
players are naturally motivated when they see their captain feeling a lot of pride in leading a particular side and acting as the role model for its players.
South Africa are considered as chokers in world cricket and have a great tendency of losing crunch Matches of the world cup. South Africa’s choking habit started from the 1992 world cup when they lost the semi final against England by Duckworth http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lewis-c72807 Method.

Smith also accepted the fact that this World cup is a lot bigger than the previous World cup’s. Smith highlighted different aspects of the South African line-up and said “it’s the most variety that we have ever had”. He further said that “we now have pace,
we have bounce, we have left armers, we have got a few spin options”. South Africa has got a lot of talent in their squad and has got a number of important players in their line-up.
They have bowlers like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/J-Botha-c1610 is the spin option for the South African side and can bowl some decent spells during the
middle over’s. Smith also expressed this point that South Africa has also made an effective plan of approaching the world cup. South Africa are in a fine touch and they were also successful in winning the one day series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 in recent
times.
