Conrad said he must be concerned about the lack of fast bowlers in the final of a major red-ball tournament. He lamented the lack of First Class fast bowlers, noting the presence of young Proteas player Nandre Burger.
Conrad sharply criticised the national game as poor preparation for the rigours of Test at the best online cricket betting sites in South Africa 2024. He believes that the players who lost the series in New Zealand will reconsider their position on readiness for Test cricket.
“Some of them might have been shocked by the harsh realities that Test cricket brings and maybe realised how far they are from it. Many feel they are closer to Test cricket than they are now,” Conrad told ESPN Cricinfo.
Cricket South Africa (CSA) has announced the distribution of coaches for the national team: Conrad has been appointed for the Test format and Rob Walter for the white-ball teams, which he led last year.
Conrad is the guardian of the red ball game in South Africa, and other strong players must respond to his warnings. The SA20 clash with the tour of New Zealand was not a good sign as he needs support to stay healthy for the long fixtures in South Africa.
For Conrad, the Test coaching role is likely to be the most challenging and he may already be feeling the pinch of remorse.
