It's a massive game: Donald on India-SA encounter

Melbourne, Feb 20 (IBNS): South Africa bowling coach Allan Donald has called the upcoming World Cup match between India and South Africa as a 'massive' encounter.

"It's a massive game . . . this is what we train for, this is why we play for our country, to play in big games like this. I'm really, really up for this," he was quoted as saying to The Sydney Morning Herald.

Speaking on the Melbourne Cricket Ground , he said: ""It [MCG] is an intimidating place. You just have to walk out there, [even when] these stands are empty it's an intimidating place - full stop. We're not looking one game ahead of this game . . . if [the finals draw] brings us back here that's great. It means we've played cricket out of our socks to get back here. But we're concentrating on Sunday. That really is all that matters."

India will face South Africa on Sunday.
