London: After Pakistan shattered South Africa’s hopes to enter semi-finals, Proteas skipper Faf du Plessis admitted that their efforts were ‘just not good enough’ and called it ’embarrassing.’
“Yes, definitely [it is the lowest point]. I’m a very proud player and captain, and playing for South Africa means a lot for me, and the fact that the results we’re dishing out at the moment you know, it’s really, really tough, and borderline… today, it’s a little bit embarrassing. We’re trying but it’s just not good enough. Obviously, I’m human as well, so it will keep chipping at me,” ESPN Cricinfo quoted Du Plessis as saying.
South Africa faced a 49-run defeat at the hands of Pakistan on Sunday after they failed to chase the target of 309 runs, set by Pakistan. Du Plessis said that they are repeating their mistakes but praised the spinner Imran Tahir, who took two wickets while giving away just 41 runs from his 10 overs against Pakistan.
