With the World Cup barely two weeks away South Africa is grabbing most of the attention due to their best form and dedication towards the mega event of cricket.
Yet now that AB de Villiers has become the world’s most outrageous strokemaker there is reason to believe-in again in South African team. He stands on a pedestal as a man who can change a game in the blink of an eye. Hashim Amla on the other hand is a modern day player, with a dedicated attitude towards the game.
According to media reports, the bookmakers have installed South Africa as the favourite to win the tournament and finally rid itself of the tag of perennial chokers. South Africa is comfortable with their status as one of the favourites to lift the trophy this year.
According to ESPN, while making predictions for an upcoming World Cup 2015, Martin Crowe (former New Zealand player) said, “South Africa have the best collection of players and only need a run of luck and unrelenting belief and they should go far. New Zealand have a wonderful spirit and respect for the game, and home advantage will benefit their well-balanced squad”.
“Australia will have their gander up and will aggressively fight tooth and nail for fresh winds, but if they lose Clarke, they lose a mainsail. England is not to be underestimated, they have capable cricketers and there is always a silver lining, though their stitching hangs by a thread,” he added.
Now the world waits to see if the Rainbow Nation that continually churns out world-class players can finally break its jinx of choking at the mega event of cricket.
