admin “I wanted to hit the right areas and I am glad that I managed to do it today. It is quiet nice to have a run on this pitch. I think there is a special performance round the corner, but I feel that I have to do the basics correctly.” Says Morne Morkel
Man of the Match: Morne Morkel“It was great to see the guys bowl with such intensity. This pitch looks like the Wanderers and the guys thoroughly enjoyed it. If we can just keep improving and get our whole game together, we can be a force to reckon with in the tournament. There is good bounce and carry for the bowlers and we wanted to raise the standard of our play. It was great to see the enthusiasm from the Afghan players.” Says Smith
“We have learned a lot of things from South Africa in this match. We were in a tough group and the boys would like to play more against such teams. When we played against them, we bowled well and fielded well, but our batting could not click.” Says Mangal
