For me, it&#39;s the team you have and the results you have been getting. We have got a really good team at the moment and we&#39;ve been winning a lot of games.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">South Africa reached semi-finals in 1992, 1999 and 2007 editions of World Cup.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;In the past, we went to a World Cup where we probably weren&#39;t the best side. People judge you on not winning the World Cup. This time I feel we&#39;ve got a really good side and we&#39;ve been winning, so everything is stacking up nicely for us now,&quot; he was quoted as saying by Sydney Morning Herald Wednesday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">South Africa, being coached by Gary Kirsten who coached India too in 2011 and helped them win the World Cup, are getting ready to face Australia in a five-match ODI series starting Friday.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">The 30-year-old Du Plessis said that the series is all about preparing for the World Cup.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><span style=\"font-size:14px\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\">&quot;Winning is also important and this will be a very good challenge for us playing Australia in their home conditions, we&#39;ll probably play them in a semi-final or something like that in the World Cup.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
