“I don’t think we are going out there to be the nice guys of world cricket or put on a front of any sorts. We are just being genuine in being who we are and I think we just play the game in good spirits really. It’s just a game in my opinion and it’s about enjoying it. I think that’s why a lot of guys and girls and kids follow the team, because we just go out and have fun,” Trent Boult said.
“Imran has been a star for this team. He has proven to world cricket how well he can perform, even when he is under pressure. This is his last World Cup, but he is loving every minute still, which is amazing. He’s got great passion and what an example he is for any young cricketer.” – South Africa spin coach Claude Henderson on the ‘Tahir factor’.
