'Mulder could thrive as the captain'

In-form all-rounder Wiaan Mulder could perform even better with the additional pressure of leading the national squad, according to head coach Shukri Conrad, when the Proteas face Zimbabwe in the second match of a two-Test series in Bulawayo starting on Sunday.

Mulder played a key role for the under-strength SA team in their 328-run victory over Zimbabwe in the first Test which concluded on Tuesday. He took 4/50 with the ball in Zimbabwe's first innings, and in South Africa's second innings he made 147 runs – his second Test century – after being pushed up the order.
