Respect Bowlers - Be It The First Over Or The 67th Over, Advises De Villiers To SA Batters
ICC World Test Championship: Ahead of facing Australia in the upcoming ICC World Test Championship final, former South Africa batter AB de Villiers has urged the Proteas batters to respect all bowlers, regardless of the over in any phase of the play at the iconic Lord’s.
South Africa will mark their first-ever appearance in a World Test Championship final when they face-off against Australia in the one-off clash from June 11-15. South Africa have played 18 Tests at Lord’s, but it doesn’t make for a great reading - six wins, eight defeats and four draws.
“Lord’s is a tricky ground to play at. You've got the ball moving around more than most grounds in the world for a longer period of time. You're never in, and that's probably my best advice to the batters, to sort of respect the bowlers, whether it's the first over or the 67th over. You're never in, so just respect the game.”
