Not since I arrived... the quicks haven't leaked runs as a unit compared to the spin bowlers in the NZ and Zim series? That is not a fact at all.
It might have happened previously, but the quicks were not getting any specialist help at all when I got here. Add to that they are pretty much overlooked and lacking in confidence and you can start to see we have created our own situation.
It's easy to break - play the quicks, back them and let them lead the attack. Our boys have learned a great deal quickly. Be patient with them. When I first met Dale Steyn he had started out as an inaccurate pacer.... now look at him. Let's give our boys some backing because they always bowl up front in the 2 men out PP which is the toughest.
