“The mood is good in the camp. I think there’s obviously a little bit of nerves around the group now, knowing that we have to win the next game. But the morale is good. The guys are very upbeat. We want to make sure we are in the next stage.”
“We know that without focusing too much on the opposition, if we go out and play our way, we know we can beat any team,” Burger said. “We did so not very long ago against the two-time world champions. So if we execute the way we know, hopefully it will send ripples through that Zimbabwe team. We can put a bit more pressure on them.”
“There was obvious disappointment after the game. It wasn’t just one moment but many moments. Hindsight is a great thing. As a Scottish team, we are not used to be in those situations on a daily basis. I am incredibly proud of how the boys have managed themselves on and off the field. We will learn a lot from what happened yesterday.”
“We certainly saw glimpses of that yesterday. We know that he wants to keep getting better. He is a wonderful cricketer, with superb skills. He had a fantastic game yesterday, but just a shame we couldn’t get over the line and get that victory.”
“Playing that role of an allrounder, you try to come to the party in at least one aspect of the game. I haven’t really made an impact yet but a good performance is just around the corner,” Burl said. “Hopefully it is a match-winning one. I think I am due a bit of runs. It will be nice to put Zimbabwe in a winning position.”
