He has been in pressure situations in Australia. His presence alone will serve as a big form of motivation for our players.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;He&#39;s known as a very thoughtful cricketer.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Domingo said he expected his team&#39;s cricketers to benefit from the Australian&#39;s vast knowledge in tackling pressure situations.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Hopefully some of the things that he has learnt playing in competitions like this he can pass on to some of our players. Whether it&rsquo;s in their mental preparation, whether it&#39;s in their tactical strategies when going out to bat under pressure.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Domingo said Hussey and Gary Kirsten, another consultant South Africa have taken on board in their quest to win their maiden World Cup, have fitted in well and don&#39;t impose themselves too strongly on the team.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Although it&#39;s still early in the tournament a lot of positives can be taken out of a positive result against a side like India in front of a crowd which I&#39;ve heard is close to being sold out,&quot; he said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;It&#39;s going to be a big stage for some of our players who haven&#39;t experienced that type of atmosphere before.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">South Africa enjoy a 3-0 record over India in World Cup matches.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Domingo also said pace spearhead Dale Steyn has a sinus problem but it wasn&#39;t serious.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
