<p>The Proteas crushed India by an innings and 25 runs in Centurion but went down by 87 runs in the second Test in Durban. This time around, they are determined to build on their 135-run win in the first one-dayer, Fletcher emphasised.<br /><br />“South Africa have got to be very wary that this happened in the Test series,” he said. “But I don’t think it will (happen again). There seems to be a very good attitude amongst this one-day squad. They seem to have learnt their lesson. It’s just important they go in there and hit India hard from ball one again, and make sure they don’t get complacent. <br /><br />India are quite an experienced side. Although they’ve got young players, those young players they are pretty experienced. You got to be wary that they have this experience. They know how to play out of these situations. South Africa have to be careful of that.”<br />In Jacques Kallis’ absence, Fletcher conceded, South Africa were slightly light on batting. “They’re going to have a problem with the all-rounder,” Fletcher noted. “They’ve always had plenty of all-rounders, which has given them depth. The back-up batters are good enough. All they need is a little more experience. They have the ability. They need to be aware of situations when they go in and play there, because situations do change all the time.”<br /><br />Fletcher insisted that South Africa were as good as anyone else in limited-overs cricket. “They matches everyone as far as one-day cricket is concerned. They haven’t been fooled by the wicket they bowled on. They won’t bowl on that (Durban) wicket very often, but when they get on it, they play very, very well. They’re used to that. When they go to India, those wickets may be a bit slower and a bit flatter, but they have to get used to it and adapt a bit quicker. Bowlers at the international level have got to do that. They’ve got the skill and the ability to do that.”<br /><br />Corrie van Zyl will step down after the World Cup as the South African coach. “I’m not going to say I like a job, I’m not going to say I don’t like a job at the moment,” Fletcher replied when asked if he was interested in that job. “I’ve been very fortunate with the work I’m doing with South Africa. I’m not desperate for it at this stage. I feel I can really contribute with my role now.”<br /><br /></p>
