Know Your Team - South Africa

The Proteas have not won any major tournments since their 1992 re-entry barring the ICC 1998 Knockout Tournament. If any team deserves to win the world cup most, its got to be SA. They have been performing brilliantly for the past decade and have performed really well in the world cups initial stages all the time. They have a really good squad with Smith leading, Steyn has been breathing fire and is good in flat tracks too. He can get to reverse the ball and bowls at breathtaking pace. Amla has been the most consistent and the most successful batsman for the last year. Jaq will have to carry the middle order and AB is brilliant. If Duminy lives up to his potential they ll be one of the best batting unit. The only problem is they self destruct in key situations. If they can keep off that self destruction button and keep their nerves, they ll run away with the cup!!


South Africa World Cup Squad: Graeme Smith (Capt), Hashim Amla, Johan Botha, AB de Villiers (WK), JP Duminy, Faf du Plessis, Colin Ingram, Jacques Kallis, Morne Morkel, Wayne Parnell, Robbie Peterson, Dale Steyn, Imran Tahir, Lonwabo Tsotsobe, Morne van Wyk (WK)
