A frustrated Chris Morris said he would have been the head coach had he known the reason for South Africa's string of defeats in the ongoing World Cup.

South Africa have already lost three successive games against hosts England, Bangladesh and now India, needing to win at least five of the six remaining games in order to be in contention for a semi-final spot.

Asked to pinpoint a reason for the defeats, Morris sarcastically replied: "Well, if I had the answer I would be the head coach of the national side.

On a more serious note, he said: "The guys are very disappointed and a bit angry, which they are allowed to be. We will sort that out in our heads tonight and when the sun comes up tomorrow we will go back to the drawing board and take on our next opponent.

"It is pretty simple the next game. Win the next six and crack on."
