The team is not the complete package yet, but there is confidence, clarity and co-ordination

South Africa Latest News, South Africa Headlines

The emphatic 2-0 series win against the West Indies has accelerated the rebuilding of a new Proteas team. They are not the complete package yet though; their batting remains fragile.

I have this 30-second TV image from the second Test swirling in my head of Elgar directing his fielders with absolute clarity as he walked between overs to his first-slip position. It could have been Jackie McGlew. But to return. The West Indies Test series success was a tribute to the bowling unit and the senior batsmen.

De Kock stood apart from all other batsmen in the series. Fear of failure invariably freezes players. Ian Botham and Viv Richards never doubted themselves, irrespective of the game situation. Sometimes I am inclined to hold the view that a cricket team is more a collective of individuals, as one invariably is solitary with ball or bat in hand. Rugby, where they scrum together and tackle in pairs regularly and where inter-passing leads to tries, seems a more intense team game. However, teamwork in cricket revolves around partnerships in batting, bowling and the wicketkeeper together with the slip cordon. Partnerships are king and they mould the team.
