The onus is upon everybody to burrow further and produce the exhibitions which they realize they can. They have done well against England and South Africa in past World Cups, they realize they can beat them.

“There’s nothing in the stars that state we can’t make the semi-finals so we need to accept we can. The methodology should be sure and that is what we’re taking a gander at.”
