After another ICC Knockout -Match output, the heartbreaking message of the South African coach

Another heartache of the Knockout stage at another ICC event. But the multi -year bride south Africa is on the right way two years before the Odi World Championship. Team Rob Walter's head coach after the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy in Lahore. After South Africa brought her group at the top, he was neglected on Wednesday evening in the second semi -final against New Zealand in Lahore and declined with 50 runs in a chase of 362.

“You know that we were able to put together some important partnerships in the victories. We had people who contributed significantly to the racket. From the bowling's point of view, our greatest development was our accuracy. We could be very precise as a seam unit,” said Walter in the press conference after the game.

“And this is something that we have worked very hard on. Every game we play is a learning opportunity. We always try to take the little lessons. Today is a tough lesson, they feel a bit more because it is the end of a campaign.

“But we will continue to learn from things, small parts here and there that we can do it better. We still develop as a team. I have no doubt in my head. Two and a half years until 2027 and these are the eyes at the price,” he added.

The Odi World Cup 2027 is organized jointly by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia.

As expected, Walter was asked about South Africa, which goes under in a co -game of another global event. Last year, the Proteas lost the T20 World Champion from a command position against India.

“I don't think it was a certain thing that led to a loss, probably a couple. We could have treated the last 10 over (during the bowling) a little better.

“In the middle of the innings there was a kind of period in which Kane (Williamson) and Rachin (Ravindra) increased their prices a little. And we missed a few options there,” he said.

“… when we struck. We were just starting to start, and this partnership was broken and very slowed down in the middle, and obviously we saw that Dave (Miller) ultimately played incredibly well to become a hundred … You know that you only hold a partnership from doing something special,” said Walter.

Since Williamson and Ravindra easily manipulate the bowlers, it no longer seemed to have ideas in South Africa. However, Walter did not agree.

“No, I don't think that is completely accurate. We have certainly tried to change it, we tried to change the pace. I think the ball was not really gripping in the early phase, so that the ball continued to slip.

“I think it is just to see that it was a pretty good Wicket wrap. I don't think you can score 360 ​​points if it is not a good wind.

Walter admitted that she had “a little” misconception failures when executing plans, but insisted that nothing was lacking.

“… Certainly you will never question the boys' efforts and we have thrown them to you, but unfortunately we couldn't break this partnership that she really got to push towards the end,” he added.
