S A need to stop doing Superman things : Du Plessis

Dubai, May 20 

South Africa captain Faf du Plessis has urged his teammates to avoid doing Superman things and instead focus on overcoming the “fear of failure” ahead of the World Cup. South Africa have a reputation of losing big matches which has earned them the label of chokers. The Proteas are yet to reach the final of the World Cup having been knocked out at the semifinal stage four times in the past. “In previous World Cups, we wanted to do Superman things. We thought we had to be more special, we had to do something more than we usually do, and we did not do what was good enough before,” Du Plessis was quoted as saying. — PTI

People will keep calling them chokers until they win an ICC event and rightly so. They were the best team in 1999, still they could not win it. This time, not many are expecting them to win so they can slip under the radar and make the semifinals and hopefully things fall in place from there on— Kepler Wessels, Former SA Captain
