Confident SA bank on feel-good factor

With the pressure of a first ever knockout win out of the way, and a new-found belief blowing their sails, South Africa are confident of going the whole distance this World Cup

Not just Chris Gayle United

There were sporadic sparks from West Indies, but to seriously compete at a World Cup, they will need more than just a few one-off moments

Anxious Abbott still second choice

As the semi-final draws nearer and Vernon Philander's recovery continues, all Kyle Abbott can do is watch and wait and work on his own game

South Africa bond the Mike Horn way

The explorer has taught sportsmen that what you go through alone is never as important as what you have committed to doing for others

SA minister pleased with end to knockout jinx

We're not going to show any weakness - de Villiers

18-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Sydney

Relief all round as South Africa are freed from suffocation

It was relief, rather than raucous, rampant celebration for South Africa because relief has to be the leveller for a side who have made history but still have more history to make

SA must heed lessons of old trials by Sri Lanka

The tour of Sri Lanka in 2013 was a chance to see how much South Africa needed to do in their World Cup preparations, but it's the learnings of the 2014 visit that will be more important ahead of the quarter-final

17-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Sydney

'We're not going to choke' - de Villiers

Faced with the history of having never won a knockout game in the World Cup, South Africa captain AB de Villiers said he wanted his side to play good cricket and come out on top against Sri Lanka in Sydney

'Two legends of the modern game'

ESPNcricinfo presents the key match-ups ahead of the quarter-final match between South Africa and Sri Lanka in Sydney

17-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda and Andrew Fidel Fernando

SA more serious and less carefree in World Cups

South Africa have special memories of the SCG as cricketers and as characters. They will need a bit of both on Wednesday to overcome Sri Lanka, and a healthy dose of enjoyment as well

16-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda

Domingo confident of strong show in big matches

South Africa's defeats against India and Pakistan have left them exposed to hearing a lot of clearing of throats and seeing a lot of clutching at them

16-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Sydney

Untiring UAE show flashes of spunk

UAE have plenty of areas to work on, but a team filled with players who juggle day jobs and cricket commitments was not short of promise or dedication

16-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda

WI miss a chance to make a statement

They got the job done - and ultimately that is what matters - but West Indies need to address the fact that they were switched off for large parts of the game, and lacked the ruthlessness they will badly need in the quarter-finals

15-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

UAE finish with happy memories

Despite the regret, despite the winless record, despite the obvious disparities between them and the rest, UAE will leave the World Cup having had a good time

15-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

The Sammy sulk, the missed five-for

Darren Sammy is not the one to throw tantrums, but after being taken off the attack, the allrounder was not able to hide his disappointment

15-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

That familiar Guyanese accent

Fomer West Indies player Bruce Pairaudeau, who is 83, surprised the West Indies players during their training session on the eve of the UAE clash, after driving 300 kilometres with a friend from Hamilton, where he lives

15-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

The rise of an unlikely leader

Thrust with the responsibility of steering a shaky team, Jason Holder was a surprising choice as West Indies captain. But two months into the job, he is already making it his own

14-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda

UAE sense opportunity in floundering WI - Tauqir

The UAE captain says West Indies' batting has been inconsistent and their bowling not in the same class as other teams

14-Mar-2015•Firdose Moonda in Napier

UAE more worried by storm than WI

Jason Holder refused to worry about the weather in Napier, but UAE captain Mohammad Tauqir did not want his team's journey home disrupted
