DRIVEN BY BOK SUCCESS

The Proteas have been widely criticised for experimenting too much on their current tour of the United Arab Emirates, where they have lost more games than they've won against unfancied opposition.

After falling in a 2-1 ODI series defeat to Afghanistan in Sharjah, they settled for a 1-1 draw in their T20 International series against Ireland in Abu Dhabi last week.
