South Africa are a good team. Except for the 0-12 result against Australia, I think they have had a fair tournament. They play some good hockey and can catch any team on the wrong foot with quick counters.
They did just that and the result is there for all to see. For the South Africans, the draw was as good as victory. In the stands, we were shocked watching the unorganised manner in which the hosts built their attacks.
Going forward, the task of winning the seventh spot is even tougher given that our opponents could be Korea or New Zealand, both of whom have done well here. We have to plan better if we are to win that match.
