Dean Elgar didn't fault off-field issues, quarantine or the shortfall of a warm-up counterpart for South Africa's absence of force in the primary Test in Christchurch however figures his group might be making a decent attempt in their journey to contend.
Like mentor Mark Boucher, Elgar couldn't totally "understand my head," around how South Africa have gone from the highs of beating India a month prior to the low of their second-greatest Test rout ever, yet couldn't blame their work regardless of recognizing a need force.
"The harder you attempt, the more you come up short," Elgar said, concerning his bowlers' failure to hold an end on a seamer-accommodating surface. In 117.5 overs, South Africa just sent down 15 lady overs, contrasted with New Zealand's 28 of every 91 overs across the two innings, and permitted the hosts to bat them out of the match.
"It's incredibly baffling being a skipper and the ball has been hit the two sides of the wicket. You can't set a field for that," Elgar said. "That is down to execution and the abilities office. I can't say it was nerves. We were so profound into the game, those nerves were out of our framework. It's very hard to construct pressure when runs are being scored on the two sides of the wicket. It additionally comes down to folks making a decent attempt. The harder you attempt, the more you fall flat. That could have been a situation yet it's anything but a reason. It permitted their center to-bring down request to come in and direct the speed of play. That was down to us not being sufficiently predictable."
At last, however, South Africa lost the match in the main innings, when they were excused for their least all out against New Zealand - 95 - and totally took a gander adrift against the moving ball on a green top. Despite the fact that Elgar said it "would have been great to have played a warm-up game," in the development to the match he showed conditions at Lincoln University, where South Africa prepared, prepared them well for the Hagley Oval and concurred that not having a cutthroat apparatus before the Tests was not a justification behind their breakdown. "I'm not going to blame quarantine. We are here to address our nation and we should fire when match day comes. Assuming that is a reason, it's an extremely frail reason to utilize."
All things being equal, he clarified the players' issues as an instance of being excessively protective, with 13 of the excusals coming from gets behind the wicket. "At the point when the ball is circumventing a tad, you actually must have a positive outlook. You should hope to score yet at the same moment, you need to stay pretty focused inside your strategies. That connects to our power. That is one region that I can place my finger on," he said.
