World Cup 2023: Miller feels Proteas ticked lot of boxes, will win one day

Experiencing a fifth World Cup semifinal loss is frustrating, but South Africa will definitely take pride in their performances in this edition of the event and veteran batter David Miller believes it's only a matter of time before they clinch the coveted trophy. World Cup's perennial 'chokers' South Africa, having taken the group stage by storm with their power-packed batting, fell short in the semifinal, but Miller's century backed up by a disciplined bowling show kept Australia on the edge in their nervy three-wicket win over the Proteas here on Thursday. "It's pretty frustrating to be honest. Quinny (Quinton De Kock) mentioned with his four hundreds, he is okay not to score any runs and win the trophy," Miller told reporters here. "You want to get through to the final and have a crack at the trophy. We're happy to have hung in there and put up a total. That's the game of cricket." The likes of pace bowling all-rounder Gerald Coetzee, who made his ODI debut only in March this ye

After 10 wins in as many games, India will face Australia in the summit clash in Ahmedabad on Sunday. "Sometimes when you are not getting a break, Shami comes and straightaway gets you a wicket. Just see how many times he got first-ball wickets. Unfortunately, Hardik (Pandya) got injured and he (Shami) came and grabbed the opportunity," Viswanath told PTI. "He (Shami) hits the deck and got some pace. He skids through, that's the beauty of his bowling, so it goes a bit rapidly and surprises the batsmen. Others also, (Jasprit) Bumrah is Bumrah, he has a good repertoire and (Mohammed) Siraj getting better. "All in all, our attack is more balanced than Australians, no doubt." So, does the Indian team has an edge in the bowling ...

Cummins said he knew the pitch would spin later in the match. "We thought it would spin quite a

World Cup 2023: South Africa head coach wouldn't accept his team choked

South Africa suffered yet another defeat in a knock out game of a global event but their performance against Australia in the second World Cup semifinal on Thursday was far from a choke, feels head coach Rob Walter From being a precarious 24/4, South Africa rode on David Miller's counter-attacking century to post a respectable 212 before Australia survived some tense moments to chase down the target in 47.2 overs. Walter provided his personal definition of a "choke," stating, "for me, a choke is losing a game that you are in a position to win. "In this instance, we were behind right from the word go, and we actually fought our way back into the competition and put up a score that gave us a chance," Walter said in the post-match media conference. We're 30-40 runs short =============== Walter said his team was 30-40 runs short. "And then, again, they (Australia) got us to a flier.

"We certainly come up against a team that have obviously led from the front through the tournament and they're undefeated," Starc said. Both teams had crossed swords in their opening fixture of the tournament in what turned out be a one-sided affair with India winning by six wickets after bowlin
