Legendary New Zealand cricketer Martin Crowe has advised South African skipper AB de Villiers that pace bowler Wayne Parnell should be given the new-ball, in order to boost his confidence and maximize his ability to swing deliveries in the ongoing World Cup.
In his column for the ESPNcricinfo, Crowe admitted that South African bowling requires little bit of tuning, saying that struggling Wayne Parnell should be given a shot at opening the bowling, Sport24 reported.
South Africa suffered a humiliating 130-run defeat against India last week before registering a sloppy win over Zimbabwe in their World Cup opener.
Crowe averaged 45.36 in his 77-Test career, which included 17 centuries.
