Despite continuing his winning ways in the ICC World T20, SA skipper refuses to indulge in tall talk
South Africa captain Graeme Smith celebrated his team's sixth successive Twenty20 win on Saturday, but insisted there are still major challenges ahead if the Proteas are to win the world title.
South Africa saw off the West Indies by 20 runs at The Oval for a second Super Eights win in a row which virtually assures them of a semi-final place.
The South Africans, who have never won a one-day title, posted 183-7 off their 20 overs with Herschelle Gibbs making 55 before teenage seamer Wayne Parnell took four wickets as the West Indies reached 163-9.
"It's great to have won six in a row in total. But there are still big matches to play. We'll play India on Tuesday.
We have an extra day off. We will regroup and have a good run to the final hopefully."
Parnell, at just 19, is proving the find of the tournament and he was named man-of-the-match for his 4-13.
"I gave it 110 percent today. It's still a batsman's game but if you bowl well yo can pick up wickets," said the teenager.
"I enjoy bowling at the death. I have developed my yorker in the last 10 months and I am adding other things to my game."
