http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 has the momentum reckons Jean Paul Duminy – Cricket News Update
South African cricketer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Wellington-c864 by six wickets.
The Proteas – who had already won the T20I series 2-1 - now have a chance to inflict more pain on the hosts, if they defeat them in the second ODI at McLean Park, Napier on Wednesday, February 29. A favourable outcome for South Africa
will also land them the ODI series.
Duminy is confident that South Africa will emerge victorious in their next clash against New Zealand. He said, “We've got a bit of momentum behind us now, so hopefully we can knock the series off in the next game.”
The first match between South Africa and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 was a high scoring fixture and the next at Napier may very well be the same, with batsmen piling heaps of runs. Duminy, who is eagerly waiting for the match, has urged the Proteas
batsmen to make the most of the batting track at Napier.
The hard-hitting batsman said, “I've heard it's a good batting track, so we'll have to put a solid total on the board if we bat first, and chase it down well if we bat second.”
South African cricket team has been tagged as chokers, because of their inability to play in pressure situations. However, in the first ODI, the Africans showed signs of improvement.
In pursuit of 253, the Proteas lost three of their top batters with just 35 runs on the board. However, Duminy along with his skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AB-de-Villiers-c887 stabilized the innings and put on a stand of 90 runs for the fourth wicket, which
eventually won the match for the tourists.
Duminy, who scored 46 runs, was glad to play his part in the win. However, Duminy accredited his inning to his skipper, stating that it was he who kept his cool, otherwise he would have not lasted that long.
Duminy said, “If it wasn't for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Allan-Robert-Border-c43726, I probably would have thrown it away. There were a few nervy moments but we got through it, which is a good thing. The situation called for a bit of pressure to be absorbed and [for us to] express
ourselves at the end, which we did nicely.”
