Shukri: So much more to come from Proteas

PROTEAS coach Shukri Conrad feels that that there is more that the Test team have to offer, despite despite their brilliant performance at Lord’s last week to clinch the World Test Championship crown.

South Africa beat Australia by five wickets, a team currently ranked No 1 in the world in the ICC rankings.

Fans flocked to OR Tambo International Airport on Wednesday to welcome the Proteas Test team after a successful trip to the United Kingdom, where they broke the country’s 27-year trophy drought.

However, upon the Test team’s arrival in Johannesburg on Wednesday from London, Conrad reiterated his belief that the world is yet to see the full potential of his team.

“We won comfortably in the end, and I still don’t think we played as well as we can play. I mean, Aiden’s (Markram) probably played his best Test knock. I don’t think South Africa’s seen a better Test innings. KG (Ngidi), Lungi (Ngidi), all of these,” Conrad said.
