South African cricketers under pressure

7:51 pm on 3 January 2010

South Africa's cricket coach says his side isn't suffering a crisis of confidence despite a drubbing in the second Test against England which has seen the Proteas los their last four from six matches.

But ahead of the third Test starting in Cape Town overnight, Mickey Arthur admits he's feeling a bit of heat.

He says when things don't go well the pressure does begin to build on a side, although he says the South African's remain focused and believe in their abilities.
