South Africa captain Temba Bavuma questioned his side’s attitude after they were thrashed by 342 runs against England in the largest defeat in ODI history on Sunday.
Chasing 415 to complete a clean-sweep of the three-match series, the Proteas were bowled out for just 72 in 20.5 overs here.
Bavuma admitted South Africa’s sloppy fielding, which included several dropped catches, was emblematic of their woeful performance. “It’s a downer. We were just poor to be honest, in all departments. Fielding is always about attitude, and looking at our fielding and some of the catches you could question where our attitude is,” Bavuma said.
“With the ball at some point something went horribly wrong. With the bat it was always going to be tough, and their bowlers really put us under pressure. To sum it up, a poor game of cricket from us,” he added.
