“As a professional sportsman you are going to have bad times. It is just about backing yourself having the confidence in your ability no matter what type of form you are in. Had a chat with our assistant coach. Confidence plays a big part in scoring runs,” Rossouw said at the post-match press conference. “I really believe in my ability, I have shown it through out the world. It is never a confidence issue for me, it is just form. The auction is not in my control. I was just trying to get one run tonight first. It panned out pretty well for me,” he added.
