South Africa`s Matthew Breetzke said his ongoing form showed worrying signs and that it could `go downhill` a day after playing a 77-ball 85, including seven boundaries and three maximums, in the second ODI against England.
"It`s a bit worrying: it can only go downhill for me. It`s been a special start, to be honest. I`ve played on some really good wickets, and I just hope and pray that it`ll continue to go the way it`s gone...To be honest, I was bleak not to get to a hundred, because it would`ve been cool to be on the [honours] board," he said, as quoted by ESPNcricinfo.
Breetzke also became the first-ever player to register scores of fifty-plus in each of his first five ODI matches in the process. The 26-year-old further stated that he is looking to make the most of the opportunity and is aware that his form won`t last forever.
