When you are on the incorrect aspect of 30s and veterans of many memorable wins, it is painful to witness embarrassing defeats and greater so from the sidelines.
It is challenging to be aware of what precisely is inflicting greater grief for Dale Steyn and Hashim Amla the shoulder harm and concussion respectively or the defeat towards Bangladesh, which is a scar that can hurt a good deal more.
Less than 24 hours after South Africa’s most ignominious defeat in a World Cup game, Steyn, 35, and Amla, 36, were at the Ageas Bowl with a couple of support workforce members, having a 75-minute session below the sizzling sun. The desperation was once palpable on both fronts.
The crew is looking for course from its two senior-most players who would not like their remaining World Cup to be a forgettable one.
Having travelled for a couple of hours from London in the morning, the two champions walked in the afternoon as the sun shone brightly after taking part in conceal and are seeking at some stage in the India net session.
Since it used to be a suddenly organised session, no nets had been put up as Amla batted for greater than an hour while Steyn bowled for around 30 minutes.
Steyn bowled from a longish run-up even though he used to be a bit gingerly. He didn’t show any obvious pain however whether he is in shape sufficient to be blanketed in the ultimate XI against India is but to be ascertained.
He saved the deliveries on the off-stump channel which Amla chiefly defended and a few that drifted down the pads were driven.
One of the assist personnel participants bowled leg-breaks and Amla took a lot of throwdowns at some stage in the session. Team Doctor Mohammed Moosajee had already indicated that Amla is being prepared for the India game and he appears properly to go.
With two leg-spinners operating in tandem, Amla’s trip at the top of the order will be like gold.
Ditto for Steyn, whose mere presence would make sure that Virat Kohli and Co are greater alert.
The Proteas need their two veterans in this hour of disaster and the duo are gearing to supply their all.
