rob walter on t20 world cup heartbreak to lose that way always hurts

Proteas coach Rob Walter on Thursday said his charges could hold their heads high, despite losing in the final of the T20 World Cup final to India .

Walter was speaking on his return to South Africa, at the Cricket SA ( CSA ) offices in Johannesburg.

South Africa were beaten by seven runs by India in the trophy match in Bridgetown over the weekend.

Walter made special mention of India quick Jasprit Bumrah , who bowled superbly in two of the final five overs, as South Africa fell away in their push for the title.

Scant consolation

To lose that way always hurts. When margins are small you always reflect on what might have been. Theres no disgrace in seeing the skill needed by Jasprit Bumrah but its a small consolation, said Walter.
