South African skipper says Aussies reminded them of ‘choke' tag
yesterday Cummins: 'They didn't give us a chance' Australian captain Pat Cummins lamented his team's inability to post a big total through this contest. Sent in to bat, the Australians made 212, and then rallied to dismiss the Proteas for 138. But Cummins and his men could only muster 207 in their second knock, opening the door for the Proteas to complete an unforgettable run chase. 'Having a pretty decent first innings lead, I think that's where you want to bat the opposition out of the game, didn't quite do that,' Cummins told Amazon Prime. 'They [South Africa] were fantastic in that fourth innings. There wasn't a lot in the wicket, but they didn't really give us a chance.' Cummins said Australia's trouble were due to the conditions and issues with his top seven batters. 'I think a bit of both. It's been a wonderful two years, the guys have performed really well to get us here. It didn't come together for us here. After the first two days, the bowlers were fantastic. It always looked like the ball was darting around. Maybe a bit of both,' Cummins said. South Africa captain Temba Bavuma praised his team's fortitude. 'We have worked hard for this moment. We came here with a lot of confidence, but also a lot of doubters. It is special,' he said. Bavuma hoped this win washed away the despair of defeats in ICC tournaments through the decades. 'The history was there. We have been knocking at the door to get ourselves into finals. The sun is on us at the moment, we have been carrying the responsibility,' he said. He praised Kagiso Rabada, the fast bowling claiming nine wickets for the match. 'He was motivated to do what he needed to do,' he said. yesterday 10.17pm Markram: 'One side of the sword' Man of the match Aiden Markram said the Proteas' decision to play with greater intent in their run chase proved crucial. Markram said the Proteas had been too defensive in the first innings when bowled out for 138, but that changed with the game on the line. The Proteas finished on 5-282 to claim victory in their second innings. 'It was the case. It's always one side of the sword, I guess. You either absorb it … but you look at the wicket and the quality of bowling, there are probably only an X amount of balls out there to face, and you need to maximise the scoring out of those balls,' Markram said on Amazon Prime. 'Everyone played with intent. That certainly helped in the second innings.' Markram said the reception he received after he was dismissed for 136 will live with him forever.
