KLAASEN: FOUNDATION FOR PROTEAS TO STRIKE BACK
Wesley Botton
GOOD CHEMISTRY

Despite all the changes which have been made to the overall squad during a busy season, Heinrich Klaasen says there is a solid foundation within the Proteas team as they aim to hit back against Pakistan in the second ODI in Cape Town today (2pm start).

After winning the T20 series 2-0 against the tourists, South Africa were edged in a narrow three-wicket defeat against Pakistan in the first of three ODI matches in Paarl on Tuesday.

And while they faced clashes between series in different formats, league commitments of players and injuries within the squad, which had all forced consistent changes, big-hitting batter Klaasen insists the morale of the players has created a good environment on tour.
