Proteas on an upward curve

Having taken big steps forward over the last couple of years, head coach Rob Walter is confident South Africa's limited overs cricket squad can continue to improve as they set their sights on major international trophies.

The Proteas reached the semifinals of the 50-over World Cup in India last year, where they lost to Australia, and they went on to reach their maiden World Cup final at the global T20 showpiece in the West Indies last week, where they fell to India.

"There's no doubt that we've progressed. I think this last World Cup showed the team how to win small moments which in the past potentially haven't gone our way," Walter said yesterday at the Proteas' arrival press conference in Joburg.
