While Trott points out that "pressure is on South Africa," SA manager Walter says that the athletes ' burden from the past should not be shared by the current generation.
It's difficult to imagine team members speaking at a media conference before a World Cup semi-final at the risk of navel-gazing and giving the mainstream media too much of a weight. South Africa's mind trainer Rob Walter arrived with their advertising agent and security agent to speak to a full of one part of the media. There is something strange about a semi-final creating no hype in one of the most enthusiastic cricket stadiums at the T20 World Cup 2024, despite the fact that this is not the first time South Africa has participated in this World Cup. They also launched their strategy on Long Island in the same manner.
Well, about one of the most enthusiastic facilities. For this floor- Brian Lara Cricket Academy- is located 50km from Port- of- Spain, on the periphery of San Fernando. The Queen's Park Oval, which is owned by a private club, has refused to change and has been abandoned, but moving such a grand event to a ground where it does n't need to be more popular is equivalent to slitting the nose to spite the face.
Next comes the plan, which does n't also give team the time to train. South Africa at least held an additional training session after having arrived on Monday evening, but Afghanistan finished their certification well into the wee hours of Tuesday for a match on Wednesday. But please excuse their tardiness in training for the semi-final.
Without a doubt, the ICC may have opened the gates for the general public to see the training. One of the few foreign locations where people can see the baskets is MCG in Melbourne and Eden Gardens in Kolkata, which both offer lessons to be learned.
Despite all this and other issues, the World Cup has been a roaring success. On Television, that is. Perhaps that's the future of the sport? Simply put, the expense is certainly worth it to the viewers at the premises. World Cups of sports do n't seem to have to have a carnival-like atmosphere in order for the cricket one to succeed.
Certainly that South Africa thoughts. It's said that they thaw under the light, so perhaps it's best to stay hidden? " This is an empty house, which is a great sign, I think", Walter joked when asked if it felt like a semi- last. Before he put the press in its place:" It's not really about the press but about the occasion, is n't it"?
Walter did say that you ca n't make up your mind that this game is just another game. Better to accept both the emotions that come with it. How does it present? Would you train different? Do you not rest also?
Walter once more made up the joke that his sleep quality is never "very good," making it sound like he is n't the best one to discuss it. " I think there's always an energy that you can think that's visible when it comes to a semi- final", he went on to say. Anyone in any game, if they get to this stage of a contest, will experience a combination of emotions, which are anxiety and excitement, I believe. And but actually, it's really acknowledging that and accepting it and then simply understanding what you'll do with that. Tomorrow's game's pivotal events also require us to play our best cricket.
Although it is said that South Africa is unique because it has been winning near games, it is a convenient, about unprovable claim that they failed to win" when it mattered the most" when it was claimed otherwise. Whatever near loses have occurred, Walter made the decision to ignore that argument and say that the problem has been placed on them.
" The close loses in the past, they belong to the people who missed them", Walter said. " To be honest, this team is a unique team. What we own should be theirs. But, this tournament, where we've crossed the line, is where we're most likely to reflect. So that's what we think about".
Another South American by birth, Englishman by citizenship, and Afghanistan instructor Jonathan Trott is concentrating on exactly that. Days after winning against Bangladesh, Trott said," We enter the semi-finals with no scarring or story." For us, this is unknown country. We'll merely go out there and give it our all. There are no preconceived notions about it all or the past's failure or success in semi-finals. It's a new challenge for us, and I believe that makes us risky as a side with little to gain and obvious pressure on the criticism in the semi-finals.
Then that feels like a semi- last- level attempt at needling.
