CAPE TOWN, Apr 08 (https://www.sport24.co.za): South Africa's preparations for the 2019 World Cup have centred around their bowling attack.
Skipper Faf du Plessis has said as much, several times.
Where other teams will be backing themselves to post and chase scores in excess of 350, the Proteas will be looking to bowl their opposition out and win games that way.
It is a major part of the reason that batting depth has been such a concern heading into the tournament.
Numbers 08, 09, 10 and 11 in South Africa's World Cup batting order, if everybody is fit, will almost certainly read: Rabada, Steyn, Ngidi, Tahir.
There is obviously not much there in the way of potentially game-changing innings, but that is where the Proteas are looking to do their damage.
Lungi Ngidi is receiving treatment for a side strain and is reportedly well on track to make the World Cup while Dale Steyn has his feet up after a decent stint for the Proteas against Sri Lanka and for the Titans in their One Day Cup exploits.
