SA brought down to earth
The loss in Dehli completed a disastrous and ultimately humbling Test series for the Proteas.
No progress without honesty
The Proteas must look inward for answers after losing a Test series to India in disappointing fashion.
Hashim Amla’s greatest test
The Proteas need Hashim Amla to fire as a leader and batsman if they are to win the next two Tests in India.
Semi-final exit is no surprise
The result as well as the quality of the Proteas’ performance in the World Cup semi-final was not entirely unexpected.
True test of mettle looms
If South Africa are to win this World Cup, they will have succeeded in transforming a weakness into a strength.
Batting trio key to SA hopes
The Proteas will prevail in the play-offs if AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla, and Faf du Plessis all hold their nerve.
Pressure management
Opening with Rilee Rossouw and pushing Quinton de Kock to No 6 could solve South Africa’s batting problems.
Steyn sparks to life
That fiery spell by Dale Steyn in Canberra was an important one in the context of South Africa’s World Cup campaign.
Waiting on Steyn to fire
The best bowler in world cricket is yet to leave his mark on the 2015 showpiece.
Proteas a disjointed mess
The failure of the collective has been more concerning than the failure of South Africa’s star players.
Tahir best of a bad bunch
The Proteas bowlers would do well to follow Imran Tahir’s lead after the spinner’s crafty performance in Hamilton.
Proteas must top their pool
The Proteas must top their pool to ensure a relatively easier route to the World Cup semi-finals.
Death incarnate
Dale Steyn’s stats confirm that he is more dangerous at the death of an innings than he is with the new ball.
Mature Miller sticks up his hand
David Miller’s measured knock in Port Elizabeth will give the player as well as the Proteas new confidence ahead of the World Cup.
Stiaan stakes claim
South Africa gained a lot from the recent Test series despite the mediocre opposition.
