Basseterre, St. Kitts: South Africa captain Graeme Smith must be developing a complex about the word ”pressure.”

Two days after Australian bowler Glenn McGrath claimed South Africa struggled when it matters, Netherlands captain Luuk van Troost hinted that the Proteas are under pressure due to suspect batting.

”The pressure is on them, not on us,” Van Troost said ahead of Friday’s World Cup Group A match at Warner Park. ”There is no pressure at all for us – we’re the underdogs. The pressure is all on South Africa.”

South Africa was bowled out for 192 against Ireland and 199 versus Pakistan in warm-up games, and Van Troost bullishly suggested another sub-200 score from the top-ranked South Africans is possible.

”What we saw in the Ireland game versus South Africa, they bowled them out for 190. We beat Ireland in Kenya in our last game. So I don’t see why we cannot do the same,” he said
