South Africa bowling coach Allan Donald is counting on the squad's consistent bowling attack to be crucial for them at the Cricket World Cup.

Donald is expecting South Africa's pace artillery, comprising of Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel and Vernon Philander, to blast teams out at the World Cup. 

Donald, who took 272 ODI wickets at 21.78, reckons attack rather than containment would be a key for his troops. He said that they have been 'very consistent' over the last couple of years with their bowling attack and in bowling teams out, Stuff.co.nz reported. The bowling coach said that there's been a 'blip or two' when South Africa hasn't done that; when teams have 'out-played them'.

Donald also said that the wickets they are going to get in New Zealand and Australia are going to be 'pure wickets', and they are 'extremely good wickets'. So, he added that wickets up front in the powerplay early is going to be a 'massive factor'.

And, the coach added that then when partnerships form, that ball's got to swing, and they have got to 'find a way of getting it reversing'. 

South Africa beat Zimbabwe by 62 runs in their World Cup opener at Seddon Park in Hamilton, the report added.
