World Cup 2019: Clive Lloyd: West Indies need to be aware of job at hand against South Africa, says Clive Lloyd

The Hindu  

South Africa may be struggling but two-time World Cup winning captain Clive Lloyd feels West Indies cannot afford to take the Proteas lightly here Monday. The South Africans have lost their first three matches in the ongoing World Cup, while the West Indies has won one and lost one. Read: Ottis Gibson irked by AB de Villiers storm “I think the West Indies should have sewn the game up, but they did not bowl very well towards the end of Australia’s innings after being in the ascendancy earlier on,” said Lloyd. I’m still feeling positive about the West Indies overall.” He added, “The West Indies team must start to play smart cricket because they have two real big games coming up against South Africa and England, therefore they have to be on top of their game as I’m sure they’d want to qualify.”
