I&#39;ll be honest, given what I faced back in the day, I wouldn&#39;t have thought they could get to this point. But there&#39;s something about them that I like,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Donald, however, was circumspect about South Africa&#39;s chances, more so after the recent retirement of their star batsman AB de Villiers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Well, we just lost one of our biggest assets in AB de Villiers,&quot; he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;South Africa will always challenge and get close to winning the World Cup &hellip; Not to say that we won&#39;t win the World Cup, but AB was just a massive loss.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales starts on May 30 with England taking on South Africa at The Oval.<\/p>\r\n",
