Having lost three matches in a row, Hashim Amla did not have a 'rocket science' answer to halt South Africa's losing streak, but the senior batsman offered a lot of hope despite their worst-ever start to a World Cup. On Wednesday, the Proteas lost to India by six wickets at the Ageas Bowl. Chasing South Africa's 227-9, India rode on Rohit Sharma's matured and patient unbeaten century to steer the team's chase.
'No rocket science answer'
"I can't give you a rocket science answer. We have to reassess and go through our introspection in the next day or two. We go back to our drawing board and put those to practise. There's no shortage of any motivation or intention or energy," said Amla after the defeat. Amla looked at positives despite the horror start to the World Cup. He referred to South Africa's past campaigns where they started well, did all the right things to qualify for the knockout stage, but then 'choked' in crucial games for them to be sent packing from the tournament.
